You do have to spell it out every single time, and do so precisely --
stuff like "more often than not" is not helpful -- red X (no connection)
and yellow exclamation mark (limited connection) cannot occur at the
same time! It's either one or the other, and different problems have
different symptoms, so I need to know the _exact_ symptoms.

Again, not helpful -- I need to know the exact message.
