Why is it that some questions on here get answered and others don't?

Because some are straightforward, some aren't?
Because some are explained well, some aren't?
Because we give our time freely, with no remuneration?

99% of the questions that don't get answered are either
too ambiguous, too general, or overly wordy and ask for
too much. Sometimes there isn't even a question in the
post. Hint: keep it clear, keep it concise, and be polite.
Lately newbies to this NG are starting new threads, but
are trying to continue conversations or ask follow-up
questions from a previous thread. It's impossible to
follow and unnecessarily bloats and disorganizes the
google archives.

And just to add to the replies ...
it seems that the questions that don't get answered are few and far between.
I enjoy contributing to the forum but, more often than not, questions
actually appear with answers already posted.
I've seen dozens if not hundreds of questions answered where I didn't even
understand the question. The question has been read, digested, interpreted
and solutions coded in a matter of minutes ... often with variations
depending on what the OP might have meant.
I think the questions looked upon most favourably are those where the OP
explains the problem clearly, gives a (text) sample of the data and the
expected results AND ideally the code or function they have tried to create.

And they mention which version of Excel they're using.
