-You are welcome to send bug reports about GNU Wget to

+You are welcome to submit bug reports via the GNU Wget bug tracker (see
+@url{http://wget.addictivecode.org/BugTracker}).
Before actually submitting a bug report, please try to follow a few
simple guidelines.
Please try to ascertain that the behavior you see really is a bug. If
Wget crashes, it's a bug. If Wget does not behave as documented,
it's a bug. If things work strange, but you are not sure about the way
-they are supposed to work, it might well be a bug.
+they are supposed to work, it might well be a bug, but you might want to

``special'' features of any particular Unix, it should compile (and
work) on all common Unix flavors.
