True ... of course, some folks really have never
been in such a situation before, and can benefit
from our kindly pointing them to the right place.
Merely asking a question normally should not be
construed as wrong. Most of us have been clueless
at some point in our careers. Hey, we could have
(and have had in the past) a long thread about
the "dumbest thing I've ever done."
That said, the other side is that a poster should
endeavor to give full background information,
rather than having the group guess at solutions.
Location, frequency, associated gear, external
factors ... all these things play into the full picture
and make it easier to offer better suggestions.
