Thats kind of a clumsy way to leave anything more then just, "Thanks for your help" or, "I'm a newbie... how do I post a question?"

On the other hand, maybe its good that a person needs to post anything more complicated then that. Someone could benefit from a post like,
"
  Why doesn't my if-then work?

if( $yeah_or_neah == 'neah' )print 'why not?';

"
(I know the above snipit won't work - it has two major errors. But it would be weird if I gave an example that did work, because the question would be irrelevant.)

  • 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! —
