As for your your actual question, I'm a programmer not a writer, I'm not sure I can help much. As a start, try to keep personal commentary and backstory out of your posts, we care about what the problem actually is and not so much about what you feel / think about it or how you stumbled upon it.
Aug 22, 2012 at 12:51 comment added Aske B. Thanks, I didn't know of the Programmers subsection. About the second comment, while I agree it gave me advice, it didn't attempt to explain why it was a good thing to do. He could just as well be blinded by wrong facts. Sometimes no advice is better than wrong advice. I could have commented better om that though. While this was all helpful (I upvoted), and I'm honored you put that much effort into it, it isn't the answer I'm looking for. I'm trying to get general advice on what the essentials are to ask broad questions, in a brief way.
