Asking questions . . . .


Is it just me or do people not know how to write their questions in a way that people can understand them? They take words and toss them at the screen in whatever order they feel.

It's not just you...

They also don't seem to understand what a "subject" line should be either

(Hint: "Please help ME!!!" and "I need help FAST!!!" and "Urgent help needed" are NOT good subject lines - you know who you are)
