[desired behavior] Well, it's most polite to wait until the message is complete before acknowledging receipt. You can complete it by asking a specific question or posting code that demonstrates your efforts to date (along with a specific question). Until then, you are tempting the crass to respond with their own (possibly incomplete) messages, which might be fun, too, i suppose. Does that make sense?
