I agree with some of that.  However, 'help me' doesn't /begin/ to cover 
what may or may not be the problem.  How many times have we been asked 
'what's wrong?' and get back 'it don't work'?

Surely, even the n00bs should know the minimum requirements for asking a 
question about a problem.  I mean, Derek has quite a valid point.  We 
don't KNOW what the problem is becuase we don't know /anything/ about 
his setup and what he's tried.
