The problem, as everyone else already sufficiently pointed out, is that oftentimes, the seeker does not understand his own problem well, and will therefor have a hard time distinguishing good from bad answers, or will even not want to hear the good answers.

Of course, it's not the first time you're asking a question in this vein. The problem you are trying to solve is, I believe, fundamentally unsolvable. If someone asks a question that requires specific skills in an area that isn't common knowledge, it is a matter of luck whether their question will be answered. It's pretty much a matter of statistics, odds and probably Murphy.

A note to add is that I find that even when people ask about unusual topics, if they know how (not) to ask questions the smart way, esp if they keep trying to figure out their problem on their own and then later come back to post a reply with their conclusions so far, their chances of getting useful replies, with at least good pointers if not so much as a solution, are greatly increased.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
