Olin, 

Do you think that maybe it's time to reference the excellent tutorial:

"How to ask questions the smart way." by Eric Raymond.

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

It seems to laser in on exactly the issues you refer to above.

Solarwind, it may be worth taking the 20 minutes to read the document. It
offers great advise.
