Unhelpfully posting snippets (rant)

Why, oh why, do so many people asking for help on these forums insist on withholding the information we need to help them?

I refer to people who post only snippets of their code.

Do they not realize that, in general, a snippet has no real meaning except in context of the program which it is a part of?
