I don't know if it has any value, but here's my 2 cents:

People here expect tricky questions. Of course "to be tricky" is subjective and 
is based on your knowledge level. When posting, please try to write every bit 
of effort you had so far trying to solve your problem.

Besides that, please, don't feel sad or ignored or whatsoever if the answers 
you've got wasn't satisfactory or doesn't came at all. As Matijn said, this 
list isn't meant to be a "hand holding" professional support and it may happen 
that the ones with the knowledge simply doesn't got the time to help.

Remember that any answer is given with nothing in return, so, read carefully 
and follow the wise advices provided by the ones that learned the hard way and 
are here today "softening" the path for the newcomers. 

Everything should be interpreted as directions and hints, and not as yells or 
other bad things, doesn't matter how bad the words appear to be.

Good luck in your path.
