Yes, it's Saturday night, and instead of being out I'm home trying to meet a deadline, and instead of actually working I'm going off on Google tangents. {grin}

One of them led me here:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

It's Eric Raymond's "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" and it's a damn good read for anyone thinking of posting a technical question to the Linode forums or any support venue.

Or alternatively, save yourself an hour's reading and spend 5 minutes finding the answer on Google instead!
