I would like to pipe in with this little gem of an article about how to ask questions....its also amusing. http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html cheers, Jim Fuller -----Original Message----- From: Mulberry Technologies List Owner [mailto:xsl-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 07 October 2003 00:37 To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [xsl] Good Subject Lines A good XSL-List subject line describes, precisely and concisely, the subject matter of the question or posting. A good XSL-List subject line does not: - aim to amuse - describe the person asking the question - identify that the question is about XSL (that's the subject of the whole list) - try to be a complete sentence - characterize the difficulty or importance of the question Subject lines on XSL-List would be better without phrases like: - Newby question - XSLT question (or XSL-FO question) - difficult problem (or Easy problem) - reward for assistance - Whoop Whoooooop WHOOP! Interesting Puzzle. Please read! - URGENT! Important question! - Please assist me in the very critical small question I need an answer to now You not only increase the chances that you will get good answers to your questions if you write clear subject lines that describe your question (and not yourself), you also make the question and any answers available in the archives.
