nobody. Yet if you do these things, you put yourself into the danger
of not being perceived as particularly helpful, as the quality of any
advice on this list is, if in doubt, to be measured against whether
it leads to working code on the original poster's machine, not whether
one might deliberately be able to create misunderstandings.
