This seems to be a 2 angle process. Some would like to see properly formatted inquiries, while others say let live and let the system that works (Ain't broke) keep working.

My experience was when I posted poorly, I got bashed, and bashed hard. To the point of being upset with the "aloofness" of the basher, and not wanting to come back. Yet the content and expertise available here (I kept getting directed to this place of knowledge no matter where else I went) has forced me to rewire my brain to work within the constrains suggested and it was for the better.

I have been forced to ask better formatted questions, and better questions, overall.

So I evolved into the system, and that actually helped me in how I approach my programming and research of the programming. (I'm pretty new at this) Hence, Thank you all. That is my humble perspective.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
