Perhaps a semi-precious metal rule of good netiquette and development would be:

Ask Google before you ask others.

Especially in forums, etc. but in real life too…

The internet is out there with lots of answers – look first on your own before asking for help. People will be much more receptive to questions if you’ve already done some searching; and you’ll probably be able to ask better questions as you’ve likely found some information you didn’t have when you started.
