More explicitly:
How should I [who has *ability* to hyperfocus mitigated by
distractibility {cf ADHD}] ask questions in this particular forum?
Why do I ask?
In my read with PDF related questions, my responses were essentially
"Why are you trying to do?" rather than an answer to to a narrowly
focused question.
A correct, but skew answer, could have been "to gain dietary information
to lower probability of another heart attack". Nutritionists had given
me answers that more a set of intermediary goals than actual things I
could apply to daily life.
I had discovered a USDA document[1] that came close to being useful and
was trying to think of a presentation format that would meet multiple
goals. I hadn't yet determined that format, thus could not answer
questions being asked.
In the meantime [GRIN]
I have discovered the source documents[2][3] used in preparing the
above. Now I have to relearn how to extract specific content from
spreadsheets. Something I haven't done in close to two decades.
But *THE* question remains.
How to ask narrowly focused questions which will get answers in this forum?
TIA
