I agree with Jubitzu. I don't think anything should be copied -- particularly if it wasn't authored by the copier. I like the link in Jubitzu's sig, but it's way too detailed for a prelim. I think the standard sticky should emphasize the use of non-stupid (and uninformative) subject lines, the use of tags when posting code, the inclusion of pertinent information such as error messages (NOT paraphrased), the approximate location of the errors, and the platform/OS/tools used. It should emphasize that potential respondents are sitting here, not at the OP's monitor. We haven't struggled with the code for days and had nightmares; WE CANNOT READ HIS/HER MIND very well, although one would be surprised at the amount of mindreading that seems to be accomplished from time to time.
