I don't have a problem if you put the link to the archives a second time prominently into some auto-generated list footer. Unnecessary as bad weather, I believe, because are there really MUA's out there nowadays, without the capability to display the mail-headers? But again, I won't complain .. But what I really would like to discuss here: Could we please have a prominent display in the footer *and* in the mail archive entrance page of a message that tells people to please use a damned search engine before posting to this list? Again and again I'm seeing seemingly extremely intelligent people asking questions so stupid that sometimes I have to hold back myself from answering: "no, it's kaput: pull the plug, find a girl-friend, and never touch some machine again. Ever." - No, I won't do that, but sometimes it's really hard to resist. I mean: it's 2018, everyone uses search to find houses, cars, TV and even friends on the Internets with their preferred search engine, but no, when it comes to fix software we get free help without any effort from the guys on the Fedora list who don't have a life and wait and crave for bums and retards asking stupid questions. What's going on? Are computer users just dumber today than, let's say, 10 or 15 years ago? Sometimes I think they're actually just more lazy. But I really don't know. What did I miss?
