Inspired by AG Projects' Adrian Georgescu's post of Eric S.
Raymond's
classic "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way" to the OpenSIPS-users
mailing list[1], I'm going to repost it here:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
As Adrian said, "This a good read for those who show up on mailing lists
without any guidance about how to ask the right questions and then
complain that nobody answers their questions as they want."
I think there's never a wrong time and a wrong place on a public
high-volume mailing list for all the participants to take a moment and
meditate on this issue a little bit.

A useful guide; Sadly many posters won't read any of it. We have all kinds
here, but the overall experience can be quite good and useful if you apply
patience and principles.
