troubleshooting check list

I am wondering if there is a way to post a "editable check list". Something to help us help others quicker. Just trying to avoid "HELP! I try to start my truck and it does nothing".
Maybe like:
1. no crank?
2. slow crank?
3. normal crank but no smoke?
4 normal crank and lots of smoke?
etc....etc....etc....
Just an idea......I am not that computer savvy I was just wondering if this is possible. I hope I am coming across correctly. (stuck at home drinking beer fighting off cabin fever).. What do you all think?

My work called me in this morning. Apparently the alarm on the firing range would not arm. Anyway, the roads are not to bad but driving down the road the lanes just go in to 1 lane w/no warning. The directer was there (big boss) shoveling snow (for some reason) (he doesn't have a life I spose). He said we will work tomorrow no matter what the rest of the government does. I tried to explain that a few people can get around but if a quarter of a million commuters hit the street there will be problems. He did not want to hear it. He said he will see me tomorrow. I am not sure of what to do. I guess I will see how I feel tomorrow. I could have an eye problem....and just not see going in to work.
What does this have to do with the thread??? I have no idea. I just wanted to talk some
