To elaborate a bit on Bob's post; this list has been around for a long 
time, and has a membership with a wide and deep variety of experience, 
knowledge, and, if it be not obvious, personality.

By and large, if you come to this list with a question or problem, and 
take a bit of time to summarize lucidly

1.  what is wrong, and
2.  what you have done on your own so far,

 you can expect a rapid barrage of responses reflecting extraordinary 
knowledge and experience.

What is generally expected are some basic courtesies, such as trimming 
redundant quoted text and taking a bit of time to organize your 
thoughts.  We all have our personal likes and dislikes, e.g. I assume 
anyone who posts using "informal English" - devoid of punctuation and 
capitalization - thinks I have plenty of  time on my hands to decipher 
his/her gibberish.
