Knowing that you should provide a small but complete example that 
illustrates the problem that you are proposing a solution to would have 
caused you to attempt some code. That attempt would probably have 
brought out the details and assumptions that you overlooked in your 
original case. And that, in turn, probably would have allowed you to 
diagnose your problem without bringing it to the developers.

So, its' not always about the specific example code. Sometimes it is 
about the attempt to write it.
