Here are a few...

Don't ask and then leave out important details.

Don't capitalize random first letters as you have in this question.

Use proper English and not texting abbreviations.

Use proper punctuation.

Don't start out your question with "Hi, it's me again". You are anonymous to the users of this site
and they don't know what you asked before.

Take a look at some of the other questions on the site to avoid asking the same question that has already been asked a hundred times.

Define exactly what it is you want to know.
Never ask a question in an aggressive manner.
Start with something simple.
Lay your concepts or ideas and assumptions on the table.
Ask politely and second-guess carefully.
Be gracious.
Thank the person.
Example: "Until now, I had always thought that classical music was not worth listening to. Maybe it is because all my friends hated it. But if musicians and educated men and women enjoy it, there must be something to it. I know you like it, so can you tell me what there is to appreciate?"
