It is my contention that any requests for help should contain a careful 
explanation of the problem and attempted solutions, plus an SSCCE.  Then the 
author should save the request on disc and go to lunch.  If no solution was 
discovered during lunch, then the request should be sent.

I think there's a Dilbert cartoon about this.
