I participate on a programming site called Stack Overflow. They are a dedicated Q&A forum and are hyper-focused on neatly delineating the topic; their FAQ How do I ask a good question? offers very good advice for anyone seeking answers, notably this excerpt:
We greatly appreciate those vendors who share their knowledge with the site's membership. However, for someone who sells coffee or coffee-related equipment, there may be a fine line between sharing one's enthusiasm and (unintentionally) soliciting the site's visitors for...
