benn,
While I fully appreciate your comments in regards to context, I disagree with your proposal. I believe the responsibility should be directed towards the posting monk.

I have asked similar questions here and here, but have failed to understand what was being said. Here is what I thought I knew.

I tried the solution provided here, but I didn't understand it and am not able to apply it to this general situation here

I admit, originally I didn't want to understand why, just how. I have seen the error of my ways, please enlighten me.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe this question deserves the generic answers because my situation is different. This is why I think it is different. If I am wrong and one of the general solutions will work, please explain it keeping in mind I am rather new at this.

etc, etc, etc

Now this isn't to say that the monks at the Monastery are not willing to do the "problem profiling". I have done all the same things you are talking about. I have looked at previous writeups by the same monk, applied my knowledge of CB conversations when answering questions, etc. In fact, I learned quite a bit about OIDs recently trying to reply to a post using The Oracle and CPAN since the AM assumed all OIDs were created equal and didn't provide enough context to help.

So while I feel context is very important and believe it should be the poster's responsibility for giving it, there will always be monks that go the extra mile. I feel that spending the time and effort in making the changes to PM will not help, but rather, re-inforce the idea that it is ok to post questions and just expect others will know what you are talking about.
I can see it now:

Anonymous Monk - how do I do X?
Limbic~Region - it depends, in what context are you doing X?
Anonymous Monk - What! You didn't profile the problem? It is obviously Y context.

Just my thoughts - L~R

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
