Getting the best answer(WAS: How do you dynamically assign array names?)

[Tim Johnson]

I think this touches on an issue that people should consider when they
post to this list. Often people ask a question, and instead of asking
for help with a problem, they ask "How to do x", when "x" may not even
be a solution to their problem (sorry if I'm singling you out, OP).

When submitting a question to the list, try to answer these questions:

What problem were you trying to solve?
How did you try to solve it?
What happened?
What did you expect to happen?

It's not just a matter of etiquette, it will get you better answers to
your questions.

How can anyone suggest what the 'alternatives' may be without an
explanation of the problem?
