I think I'm not the only one to think so and certainly not one of them most haunted by these things, but since it just came up, I feel I need to write it down anyways.

People – if you need advice and guidance on a topic, please, go look for answers yourselves first! Learn the basics. Read up on things that have already been asked and answered countless times.

Most people, me included, are happy to help you and explain things. BUT, most of us don't have infinite free time either.

So, once you know the basics and there are some questions still unanswered in your head, you know exactly what it is you don't understand yet. That is the time you should come and ask. Come, and ask a specific question.

Because specific questions are the ones that are fun (and more or less quick) to answer, and consequently, most people will be happy to do so.

Another thing is: Stay polite, don't get bitchy or snarky, even if you don't like an answer. Chances are, if you do, you won't ever get an answer you like again. Just think about it: By giving you an answer, perhaps even looking up links or tutorials, the one you asked has already done more than he had to, he could just as well have not answered at all.
If you stay polite though, think about why you didn't get the answer you wanted to hear, you might realise an answer is always a reflection of the question, and even though mirrors come in a variety of shapes and might display totally different kinds of reflections, what they all have in common is this: The output always depends on and changes with the input.
So – think about your question, word it so that your opposite can and will just naturally give the answer you want to get – and both end up being happy.

Thanks for listening, over and out.
