An excellent suggestion!
I'm astounded the radio-weblogs.com site is still up. They've been out-of-business/in statis/bought by somebody else for a decade now.
An updated link, same content:

Keep a set of test data so that you can restore to a known point. Others may be interested in your problem, because they have run intoit, too.
If you post a "Never mind. I solved it.", the "Never mind." willprobably be applied to your next question. You might not want that.
Well said!
