PLEASE READ THE NEWS DUDE, (its like the 5th time you write a mail
asking questions, when the solution it's posted on the front page)..
Don't you think you're big enough to learn this amazing trick?
OTOH, news related to updates are *not* at the correct place on the
home
web page. When I do admin tasks I would expect to read news in my
_shell_ just before the update.

Some news might be no news anymore, it's not for everybody useful to
upgrade the Linux very often.
For such people it is not advised to use a rolling release
distribution such as Arch. Using Arch without updating often enough is
asking for problems.
I got all upgrade information using Google e.g. linked to the news.
Anyway I wonder why people aren't allowed to ask every question. There
were not hundred people asking about mtab at this list, just one person
and this person might have missed the information by the news.
I read tons of threads on Arch forums and I had to read hundreds of
times replies saying "use Google", "search the Wiki", "search the forum"
+ tons of misinformation from experts aka moderators, since they
sometimes not really experts for everything.

It is frustrating for people to see the same questions asked over and
over. Especially while the solution can be easily found on the home
page, wiki or forums. These kind of questions just pollute the medium
through which they where asked with noise, which makes it more
difficult to find the good information.

maybe not the right place here, but has to be mentioned IMHO:
the search restriction for the forum at archlinux.org is really
annnoying. i like doing intense research before asking, but the
one-search-per-minuite limit (or something about that) is making that
difficoult for me.
ok, there are good reasons for that as well, but annoying anyways…
