And just to add to the replies ...

it seems that the questions that don't get answered are few and far between.
I enjoy contributing to the forum but, more often than not, questions
actually appear with answers already posted.

I've seen dozens if not hundreds of questions answered where I didn't even
understand the question. The question has been read, digested, interpreted
and solutions coded in a matter of minutes ... often with variations
depending on what the OP might have meant.

I think the questions looked upon most favourably are those where the OP
explains the problem clearly, gives a (text) sample of the data and the
expected results AND ideally the code or function they have tried to create.
