Print Post How not to ask for help, continued

A while back, I wrote this post about how to make sure that you ask for help in the right place.

I then remembered reading another excellent example of how not to ask for help.  Having found the right place to ask questions, there is (or should be) a certain etiquette about how to ask for help / respond to responses and so forth.  I think that this post on OTN shows exactly how NOT to do it!

In my search for guidelines for posting on forums, I found this excellent article in Shay’s blog.

If you ever post on OTN, Metalink, WorkflowFAQ, or any forum for that matter, it’s well worth a read – and even better if you follow the advice / guidelines!
