I just tried to import this wrongly closed question from Physics SE into the category Q&A/Mathematics

http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/105347/contravariant-and-covariant-vectors-conceptual-problem

But I obtained this error message. Not sure it this link works, so here is what it says

Sorry, the bug was me :-(  I did not switch off my debug output. The import should be correct and not affected by this output. Have switched off now.

@polarkernel Actually I had noticed this before and thought that this was a feature not a bug. I liked it because it told me when existing users were recreated. 

@Dilaton He has already re-enabled it.  Check your e-mail.  

I don't think the question should be hidden, even if you think it is stupid. It is useful for future super-administrators.   

I am interested in the reason for the downvote: is this because the question is stupid, or because of disagreement with my importing the question (without suggestion it on the Request for import votes thread) ?

Oops, sorry for not explaining! I downvoted because I think that we should keep the debug output there.

I see that the question is imported after all ...
Do these error messages somehow replace the creation of new users, if the emails to not match with the emails of already existing users?
 

Huh, why have you hidden this?
