You should note that nobody with an @gentoo.org game is playing your |

20 questions game either. |

If you want help on a mailing list it helps to post as much info as |
| 17 |
possible from the start. If you're getting an error when running a |
| 18 |
script is helpful to provide both the script and the exact error |
| 19 |
message you're receiving. You were asked for more info and see to be |
| 20 |
determined to avoid giving it. |

In my experience the people who are most likely to give you the most |
| 23 |
helpful replies tend to also be the first people to hit mute on a |
| 24 |
thread when the person asking for help seems determined to make this |
| 25 |
as painful as possible. They're not getting paid to help people out, |
| 26 |
so cooperation goes a long way. |

It is easy to get replies on a mailing list. It is harder to get useful ones. |
