Yes I forgot to write that part in: while we rarely get the "screenshot pasted in word" (which IIRC stores the full image by default so you may be able to recover it, yay) the screenshotted traceback is usually cut off at the bottom, so we get the least useful part (wow I get the stack information of the WSGI handler, well that's going to be helpful) but commonly don't get the actually interesting part.
