I gave you the name of the poster, the year and month
and day and hour and minute of the posting, and you
are still not satisfied.
Correct. When someone asks _me_ for a reference, I give a reference, in the standard form you'd find it in a bibliography. I don't give them directions to the library and a shelf number, or the author's collar size.
No, I don't give you numbers,
I give you the path how to find a message. Did you
look it up, now?
No. Post the message-ID or the URL, or shut up.
