For some reason I don't look into solving niggles with Gnus until after I have actual sent off the question. Before I send it, I feel like, hmm, I should ask about this, because it's too tedious for me to figure out, and if somebody has the answer already, I'd love to have it. Then I send the question, and it triggers an "aww, let me just take a quick look, how hard can it be, it's Emacs, for crying out loud"-reaction. In other circumstances it's enough for me to put the question into words, sometimes even to nobody; the famous "rubber ducking". But for Gnus, and also for jabber.el, come to think of it, I almost always send the question before solving it. In the case of jabber.el sometimes spending days on it. I am not sure why. I do feel a little like a crazy person posting monologues, sometimes. > Asking a good question requires sincerity and even courage to admit > your inability to answer it; I think that is an interesting point. That's one of the things I look for in student helpers at work, do they tell me when there is stuff they don't know (I avoided the word "admit" here, because it implies not knowing is embarrasing, which it shouldn't be in that situation), and do they ask questions that clear things up for them.
