You've spent days, if not weeks searching for any lead on the obscure problem you're facing. You might not even be certain exactly what the problem is, but you're by now intimately familiar with its manifestation. It's clear by now you're probably the first person in ten years menaced by it. Ancient forums with broken CSS, archived mailing lists, dusty blogs; you scrape together enough relevant information to finally craft the search query that will save you, the one that will finally lead you to the result. There. It's done. The results page consists mostly of entries with nonsense text and languages you can't read, but at the top is your answer. You click it. Scanning the original post it's clear you've found your salvation. You scroll through, quicker and quicker, impatient to end it all. Almost there, to the last post. The answer you seek. But, in a flash, it's gone.
"PMed you the solution"
