>>> "Before You Ask
>>>
>>> Before asking a technical question by email, or in a

>>a
>>> website chat board, do the following:
>>>
>>> Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
>>>
>>> Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
>>>
>>> Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
>>>
>>> Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
>>>
>>> Try to find an answer by asking a skilled friend.
>>>
>>> If you are a programmer, try to find an answer by reading the source
>>> code.
>>>
>>> When you ask your question, display the fact that you have
>done these
>>> things first; this will help establish that you're not being a lazy
>>> sponge and wasting people's time. Better yet, display what you have
>>> learned from doing these things. We like answering questions for
>>people
>>> who have demonstrated that they can learn from the answers."
