 * Include tracebacks (where applicable; especially if there is an error). Make sure you *paste* the *full* traceback. Do not worry about using up space - you are not paying for it.
 * Include a tested example of the code you are using.

 * Indicate what attempts you have made to resolve the problem/issue yourself
 * Ask yourself, what extra information might you need to resolve similar problems?
 * Proofread your e-mail ''multiple'' times, rewriting for clarity and brevity as needed. You will greatly increase the chances of both getting help and figuring own your stumbling block this way.
+* If you post on a Friday or a weekend wait till people have a chance to get over their Monday hangover before expecting a reply.
 === Don't's: ===
 * Expect an instant or one-shot answer.
 * Be vague e.g. "please help build a website"
+* Keep repeating the same question - if anyone has an answer, you will get it sooner or later.
