Self confessed help vampire here. To be honest, I have browsed for
questions to
answer but have seen none I feel capable of answering yet. I shall, however,
endeavour to answer one soon :-).
While off topic for a minute, I would also add that personally I would prefer

on scoping issues. I think that makes sense,
don't you?

I've been a member of a group , more strict than any other groups. It's
a place for C/C++ programmers where Help Vampires more than often get
these replies :

LOL from me too. You know, I have one simple request, and that is to

Ah,

We will ask for directions sooner than most men, but we will consider
our options considerably before asking technical questions. And our
brains just work better anyway, really. :P

Haha! Dammit Ryan, what I meant to say was that our brains work
better when the right conditions are met. i.e. - sufficient caffeine

everything for them. :)
I considered this post considerably before posting it.
