    "But why do you want that?" should be an automatic time-out on most Q&A sites. Especially anything technical.

    A lot of the time, the fundamental issue is the lack of information provided by the poster. I've seen so many threads where the provided information just isn't enough, and they don't react to any of the questions at all.
