Comment: Added a bit about showing respect

...

Here are some suggestions for getting the fastest, most helpful solutions to your problems from the community. Be respectful of the fact that people responding to questions on the user's list are volunteering their time to answer your question! Demanding immediate answers or not showing evidence of attempting to diagnose your problem and/or see if it's been discussed elsewhere before posting does not demonstrate respect.

Even if you skip the rest of this page, try to imagine the roles are reversed. That is, you're the expert and someone from the community is asking an equivalent question. Would you, as the person answering the question, have enough information to say anything helpful? Or is the question so vague that there's nothing you can say? Far too often questions are asked that are, essentially, "It doesn't work, how can I fix it?".
