HOW TO ANSWER A QUESTION

[Chris Maunder]

Apologies for the shouting but this is important. When answering a question please:

1. Read the question carefully
2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
4. If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button

Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.
