Hi there list. I just felt something had to be said here. In the last few weeks I've seen a lot of really lousy answers, the most of them with the Red Hat 10/Fedora stuff, but there have been others. Every now and then someone new stops in to the list and asks a question everybody else has already made. Of course google'n before asking would reduce mail load on the list, but maybe a newbie is stunned by 230000 results, most of them speaking of things he/her doesn't really understand yet. Maybe it's easier to get a direct and simple answer form someone who had/has the same problem and has already solved it. As far as I remember, it's not mandatory for someone to answer. So if you don't have anything intelligent to say, just shut your mouth. I'm sure if we check the list's stats, absurd answers talking about google, any other search engine or references like "check a post from 1967 when this was already...", might sum the same load than all the questions made twice. The point is: if talking (again) about a subject really annoys you, then simply don't talk. You'll be more polite that way. Maybe your crappy answers annoy the list even more that a repeated question annoys you.
