It isn't a matter of "customs", it is a matter of asking the best
question so that you can receive the best answer, preferably at the
least effort to the people answering.

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.
