     <h2>Tor: Contact</h2>
 
-    <p>First, if you have a problem or question about using Tor, go look at the <a href="<page docs/documentation>#Support">Support section</a> for how to proceed. The Tor developers spend most of their time developing Tor, and there are no people devoted to user support, so try to help yourself before <a href="<page docs/faq>#SupportMail">politely trying to find a volunteer</a>.</p>
-
-    <p>If you really do need to reach us, here are some approaches. Please be patient and <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html">helpful</a>,
-    and please make sure to write your mail in English.</p>

     <i>tor-assistants at torproject.org</i> is the catch-all address for everything. It can be
-    used for:
+    used for reaching people working on Tor.
     
-    <ul>
-      <li>Contacting the people who manage the directory authorities. Use
-      this if you run a Tor relay and have a question or problem with
-      your relay.</li>
-      <li>So we can fix typos on the website, change wrong statements or
-      directions on the website, and add new sections and paragraphs that
-      you send us. You might want to make a draft of your new sections
-      on <a href="<wiki>">the Tor wiki</a> first.</li>
-      <li>Hearing about your documents, patches, testing, experiences
-      with supporting applications, and so forth inspired by our <a
-      href="<page getinvolved/volunteer>">volunteer page</a> (or other
-      problems you've fixed or documented about using Tor). There's no
-      need to mail us before you start working on something -- like all
-      volunteer Internet projects, we hear from a lot of excited people
-      who vanish soon after, so we are most interested in hearing about
-      actual progress.</li>
