As maintainer of OSS Python scientific libraries, I'm seeing more users sharing screenshots of their error messages instead of copying and pasting them as text. I'm not sure why that's happening. But here's an advice:
Please, share plain text!
Because:
* Text is lightweight to send and store. #FrugalComputing
* Text is accessible: not all of us can see images.
* Text is easily parseable: I can search through it, copy it, paste it, quote it, reuse it.
