True. But an alarming number of newbies tends to fall into category (2) for
some reason. (Perhaps because they don't lurk for a while to pick up what
regulars consider decent behaviour.)
I remember a recent post where someone replied to a post and commended it
for being a good question -- clear description of what he wanted, what he
had tried, a code snippet, and what actually came out. But that sort of
thing is fairly rare compared to quite a bit of other things that come
around.
Cheers,
Philip
