Ask your questions well ;-)
Seriously though...when you ask a question, ask YOURSELF if it :
Clearly conveys the problem you're trying to solve, the attempt at solving
it you're working on, and the problem that is cropping up.
Only is trying to solve one problem at a time. (Questions that throw
multiple problems against the wall and hope that something sticks are really
annoying)
Isn't something that isn't already in google. Even if it is, and you just
asked google wrong, try google at least once. I've put a few things on my
site just so they would end up google, and for no other real reason ;-)
Isn't already in the archives. Apple's list searching could be MUCH better,
(hint to Chuq :-P ), but it does work reasonably well.
Includes the code that's giving you problems. HTML email works on this list,
don't be afraid to cut and paste ;-)
In line with that, make sure the font size is decent. Some of us old pharts
don't see so well with the teeny type.
Take the time on your question that you'd want taken on the answer, and
you'll be fine. ;-)

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill
in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively
saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from
onlookers. A minute later, in full view, they were both eaten by a killer
whale.
(if you take an email sig as the gospel truth without any sort of
verification, you're kinda dumb)
