+That seems like a no-brainer right?
+Not so — posting a well thought out question with sufficient information to answer it in one go is not always as easy as it seems.
+Users tend to say something like: "How do I move a file to my Pictures folder?" and fail to mention what app they want to do this in.
+The normal assumption would be the Finder, and one or two or five people come up with helpful solutions — but then the questioner comes back and says it's Path Finder, or Capture One, or something else...
+Valuable time gets wasted this way — your time and that of the people who try to help you.
