General questions are fine, vague ones are counter-productive. The easiest questions to answer are the ones that are short and to the point, and don't require lots of back and forwards trying to get the bottom of it. I'd encourage you to continue posting questions, and your own findings. Monitor others posts to see patterns of posts that are easy to understand what might be required, and ones that are just too vague for anyone beyond the person writing it to understand what actually needs answering. Looking at your own posts in this critical light will help. I am not immune from this need to monitor my own posts, I guess a process that would help almost everyone be more productive. In this thread I myself shown over sensivity to this topic, i.e. my dislike for vague posts that take a lot of effort even to get to bottom of what is being asked spilling over into exasperation. I guess this particular one is a straw that broke the camels back - when you have to wade throw many poorly posed question in one day, all that require a disproportionate amount of effort just getting basic information. Overtime there seem to be more and more posters posting questions of this variety, which makes it harder to keep ontop of support. Argg there's me ranting again...
