This forum has always been helpfull to me. Of course, it is very important to 
ask the question properly.

The same. Commenting in the source code is very helpfull, in particular in 
long term.

I would rather go to read about politics on the Internet. Even on that 
somewhat crazy http://www.rense.com , or on Polish web sites.... Even Google

comfortable for a few hours or night. But very risky. I do not advise 
officially and even unofficially.
