The Statalist FAQ has long carried this advice at 	

http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/statalist.html#before

1. Before you post

Before posting, consider other ways of finding information: 

the manual 

the online -help- for Stata

-search- can tell you about all built-in Stata commands, all 
ado-files published in Stata Technical Bulletins or the Stata 
Journal, and all FAQs on the Stata web site, www.stata.com. 
-findit- can tell you about not only all of the above, but also 
about user-written Stata programs available on the Internet. 

your local Stata expert or technical support person 

past issues of the Stata Technical Bulletin or Stata Journal, 
if accessible 

the authors of user-written ado-files (who usually have email 
addresses, but are not always members of Statalist) 

Stata technical support, if it is really a question for them
