closed as not a real question by Robert Cartaino♦ Jul 13 '12 at 15:56

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

I think this is a real question, or at least the obvious template for many real questions, but I'll add an instance to make what I think Stacey meant more obvious – dumbledad Oct 21 '12 at 15:41
