Any time you ask a questions, you are really asking for a opinion. |
| 15 |
Example, if you ask how to update the config files after doing a emerge |
| 16 |
-u world, you are about to get opinions because there is more than one |
| 17 |
way to do it. More than one command. So that could take care of a & b. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Since some things are just opinions, then you are right about c. |
| 20 |
However, I usually get better answers here provided I give enough |
| 21 |
information that someone can help. My problem is that usually I don't |
| 22 |
know what all info I need to post. That's a whole new ball of yarn there. |

It could be a good thing. Just keep in mind that I confuse pretty |
| 36 |
easily sometimes. Throw me a curve ball and I'll miss it every time. LOL |
