Let me translate your answer:
This mailing list is useless and should not be used.
Where does it say on the announcement email when I joined, that
this mailing list should not be used to ask question, and we
should drop it in favour of Google?
No. Think courtesy, a thing you illustrated you don't understand when
you replied off-list.
Basically, you ask for help only after you've made a decent effort
yourself. Ask google about netiquette and about asking good questions,
Eric Raymond aka ESR has a useful treatise on the topic.
We are not your servant, let alone your slaves, and some of us get very
testy when people presume too much.
