@DavidZ : ^ Above is a related meta post. Answerers (and others) are encouraged to improve OP's post if possible (as long as it doesn't change the heart of the question). In particular, choose a title that concisely describes the question, so that ideally, the reader already know from reading the title (on the front page) whether he wants to double-click to read the rest of the post or not.
Further tips for editors: When editing a question it is easy to overlook the title because it appears separated from the main text in the editor. Consider retagging. Don't forget to remove greetings.
