What i have told my students in the past is that Chief Delphi is not only a professional community of FIRSTers but a great tool and should be respected as both. The best way i explain how to create a generally helpful and high thought post/reply is to think of it as either your writing a proposal for the particular project[issue that you are working on] to your companies board of directors, or giving high end tech support. Both mentalities should be used appropriately, like using the tech support mentality when another user posts a "lacking-in-info" thread. Obviously there are some [more or less] exceptions to these with the "fun" threads but either way you need to be in your "Sunday best" mentality when posting/replying.

Just my two cents.....

ps. Dave, i always enjoy reading your posts
