For example, sometimes we get people asking about the meaning of a term or abbreviation, when the term has a number of different meanings or implications that depend on the context. When other people read such a question, they would not know which context was meant, and would have to _guess_ or _assume_ a context in order to answer, and there might have to be several messages back and forth to figure out what you were really asking about. Very few people are willing to spend the time to list all the known meanings for a term and to describe the differences, so the people who know several possible meanings will often choose to skip answering because they don't have time to present the possibilities. Thus, the best questions present all the relevant information, and present the way the person asking the question is interpreting the information. This narrows the possibilities and you are more likely to get a useful answer sooner. |
