When you have a technical questions or request for information just do
not think.
- look on google
- if not found ask
Report problems with precision without thinking too much. Feedback is
always important.
Then if you know the answer to a question (of somebody else) or found it
(because this is a challenge to answer questions and a really good way
to learn) do not hesitate to post

Hi all,
I really appreciate the dedication and effort someone generously put
into answering a question. i want neither to waste such a lovely
people's time by saying irrelevant things nor to sound harsh or dry to
them.
It doesn't kind of feel right saying nothing when someone gives me a
rather lengthly answer, unless it was the tacit agreement.
So i'm facing questions whether or not to make a post, because i'm not
sure which are the right/usual manners for this particular mail-list
form of communication.
My questions boils down to : how/when to provide feedback?
If for example i ask a question and receive answers from three people.
Should i always answer back
...commenting whether if it worked or not?
...only if it didn't solve my problem or if i had something useful for
solving it to add? (like Stack Overflow)
Should i answer back in a separate post to each of them or in a single
post to all?
Are one-line smalltalk comments alright here or should i avoid them?
Any other advice on manners is also welcome. A written manifest would
be nice :)
Best,
Laura
