Ask Me Help Desk FAQ

Start your title with who, what, why, where, how or when - and be concise.

1. Do NOT use "please help", "confused", "help me", "question", etc. as a subject title.
2. Do NOT include multiple punctuation marks (like !!!!!!)
3. Check your spelling.

Being specific and concise with both your title and your question will typically result in prompt and meaningful answers.

Disparaging is to speak of or treat slightingly; depreciate; belittle.

It's quite alright to say (in a post or comment to a post)
"The above will not work because...", or
"I disagree; here is how I would handle it...", or
"Here is an answer/solution that I believe is more accurate/effective..."
...or similar.

It's not acceptable to say
"so and so does not know what he's talking about", or
"I guess so and so did not care about checking the accuracy of his answer", or
"again, so and so, you've posted in error", or
"so and so's answer is baloney"
...or similar.

If you can't say something nice to or about another member, then don't say it at all.
