There have been a number of posts recently where the OP wanted answers
to incredibly simple questions. To help those, I reproduce here the
s.e.b. template for 'no-thinkers', taken from a.e.e


Please kind (insert platitudes here, or address titles i.e. Sirs or
Madames),

I am a new (insert job function or social status here, i.e. Student,
Engineer, Electrician, Homeowner etc.)

<optional> from (insert non-english speaking country)

and I have this (insert task here, i.e. homework assignment, personal
project, project assigned to me, problem with my appliance etc.).

I know (insert qualifications here, i.e. next to nothing, very little,
a little, enough to be dangerous etc.) about electricity,

but was hoping that you all could help me to (restate task here, but
without saying what you really mean, i.e. do my homework for me, get me
out of a jam, help me to avoid paying a professional to do it
correctly, get me through this day without having to think, avoid
electrocuting myself or my loved ones etc).

I hope to hear from you soon.

Now, if you could only get Google Groups to automatically insert this
as a template, it might just work!
