Asking questions the smart way

The industry standard on this : http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

While this is a fairly long piece the following steps should work in most cases
-RTFM
-STFW
-While asking your question provide enough information so that no one needs to come back to you for clarification or more information, as no one will.
- And use general common sense ;-)
