Rant - Be Specific

When posting a topic, 'Be Specific,' otherwise known as 'Don't Assume.'

It's beyond frustrating trying to help someone when you have to dig out the necessary details.

For example, how many times have you read, “My camera isn't working.”

What does that mean? How is it not working? When? What settings?

How about, “My camera isn't working when... (and go on to explain the situation).”

We can't read your mind, and probably don't want to anyway.

Please, please, please, stop assuming we know what you mean. We don’t.

Adding to your rant. I wish that folks would let us know if they are using a full frame or crop. Don't just give a model number. I use D7100 so I know that one. Just model numbers on other brands tell me nothing. - Dave

I get that we're all in a rush, but telling us, "It Doesn't Work" is about as helpful as going to a mechanic and saying, "It's making noise..."
- that's one happy mechanic though $$$

Cheers! S-
