I think half the communication obligation lies with the person asking, eg Does anyone know where I can get book, have tried the library they don’t have it’ would tell people what the problem is and they would get more useful responses. On Facebook in particular I see so may vague posts it’s a total guessing game to figure out what the person wants, and then they get mad the responders haven’t read their mind. (But it’s highly entertaining to read the exchanges!)
