Peter Wood writes a danged useful article.

How to ask a question.” Timely, topical, useful, starkly necessary… pick a favorable descriptor; it’ll probably fit.  Because people DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ASK QUESTIONS.  And in the process of demonstrating their lack of knowledge, they quite often end up hurting their own side.

This wouldn’t bother me at all, except that “not knowing how to ask a question” is a bipartisan problem…
