This is one subject that is on my mind quite a bit here at the TFP. I don't like to start theads for this very reason. I am never really sure how others are going to respond, and I really don't want to lose my membership. So if I want to post a question, does this mean I have to do research on the question before posting?

No, you have no worries about your memebership if you post in that manner. But, look at the members that generally tend to get the most respect in terms of how they're viewed with their posts. Those that you see people aspiring to be are guys like
sixate,
LD, and
art who always include more than just a few words. It brings the level of discourse up. It's better to give an example of what you want rather than just asking a one sentence question and leaving it at that. How many times have you seen people ask for a link or an explaination when there is no information given by the thread starter? It ends up detracting from the thread. Why waste the time fixing the thread later when you can make it the best that you possibly can from the beginning.
It's all about adding to the community and doing the best that you possibly can to achieve that goal.
