A trucker at a diner in Amarillo explained why my questions always got bad answers, and it fixed my whole week
I ask a ton of stuff on forums and always got one word replies or nothing at all. Last month I was eating breakfast at a truck stop outside Amarillo and the guy at the counter next to me saw me typing a question on my phone. He said I was burying the real question under three paragraphs of backstory, so people gave up before they got to it. I tried his way that night, one short question with the details up front, and got 14 real answers in two hours. So what is the dumbest reason someone gave you for why your post got ignored?
