+ | **Avoid the [[http://xyproblem.info|XY Problem]] of asking about your attempted //solution// rather than your //actual problem//:** | ||
+ | * When you are asking a question, ensure you are clear what you are actually trying to accomplish, not just the difficulty you are having in a specific attempt at solving the problem. There may be a much better way to solve the actual problem rather than resolving the difficulty with your specific attempt. | ||
