Vitriolic respones (possible flamebait)

Einherjer-Joe:
Is it just me, or is this a very hard board "to get into"?

Not at all - just a few simple things to keep in mind:

  1. Do an honest and exhaustive search using Google and this forum's search function (and check out the old forum too); in many cases, your question has likely been answered 100 times.
  2. If you use any non-common term, abbreviation, or acronym, make sure you define it early in your post (ask me how I know this).
  3. Post any code, schematics, pictures, etc you have about your problem; the more info the better.
  4. Don't ask us to do the work for you; let us see what you have already done to solve your problem.
  5. Please make sure your comments match what the line(s) do.
  6. Use the code formatting button (#) in the editor when you post your code!
  7. Don't cross-post your questions!
  8. Be patient and don't "bump" a thread after only half an hour.
  9. Read and understand this: How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Ok - number 8 isn't "mandatory", but if you understand it, you will understand why a few of us (myself included) sometimes get exasperated with the questions and comments on here.
