That may well be true, but one has to remember that by asking here one
is asking others to spend their own time proffering advise.  It is
always reasonable to expect that the asker has spent some time
researching the question for himself before coming here to ask, rather
than just asking here because it is 'easier and quicker'.  I am not
suggesting that in this case you have not already done the research, I
am just making the point.

Even worse though is when one offers answers, or at least suggestions,
and then never sees a reply indicating whether the answer was of any
help.  An all too common experience unfortunately.
