No matter how it is couched, this way of asking for help is always a breach
of etiquette in the Linux community. Nobody out here is being paid to read
this group; nobody is under any obligation to answer you at all (still less
in a hurry).
In fact, you probably will get your answer (if I had one, I'd give it to you
myself). That's the great thing about this community.
Despite the responsiveness of the Linux community, though, you should never
ever tell them to "hurry" or "answer quick", or say things like "I don't like
to push [BUT...]." It's just so unappealing and presumptuous.
