I fully agree that questions should keep coming. In addition it might be worth pointing out that CCP4 (and others) organise great crystallographic schools which are ideal for this sort of problem. Most of the schools ask you to bring your own data (!) and you can sit down with developers and experts who will help at length with practical and theoretical questions.

I beg to differ, violently: a student had an honest question and did exactly what the ccp4bb exists for: posted his question there. Moreover, when asking he showed he had thought about it, and provided complete background -- that's what we all want, right? * I disagree with Tassos: the email was not rude, on not one of the counts he listed. (I concede he may have had a bad day... I had one on Monday :-) * I disagree (slightly) with Tim: the teasing was not malicious. * And I share Mark's dream...

Some of the replies give crystallographic tips that may be useful to other beginning and not-so-beginning crystallographers. Although I agree the attachments to the first mail would perhaps better be deleted from the records.
