Did you ever play "Twenty Questions?" It is a fairly simple game. The object
is to guess what object a person is thinking of in 20 questions or less. The
20 questions are all "yes/no" questions, and can be any questions the
participlants want them to be, as long as their answers are either "yes" or
"no." The winner is the person who can answer in the least amount of
questions. To be good at it, you learn to ask the right questions.
Of course, on these newsgroups, you have the freedom to do much more than
simply ask "yes/no" questions. However, the strategy of getting an answer in
less than 20 questions is basically the same. It consists of asking the
right questions, and asking them well. A good "player" will usually get a
good answer in just one question.
However, in the case of your question, you have made it impossible to
answer. Your question has precisely one capital letter in it, and no
punctuation. It is a collection of sentence fragments and un-defined terms.
Remember that you have plenty of time to write your question, even though
you may not have plenty of time to receive an answer relatively speaking.
However, taking a few extra minutes to make sure you are being clear is
going to save you much time asking over and over again.
So, how about round two?
