Do ask. Some of us will not answer. Some of us will answer, trying to help. And some will tell you to RTFM. Of those: some will be pains in the ass about it, just telling you to RTFM, with no real clarification. Others, however, after actually reading your question, will tell you what FM to R. Over all, though, even if no users anywhere answer, it can not hurt to ask, and the potential that you will get some kind of answer, actually outways the potential that you will be ignored.
