Yes and no.  If they don't check the FAQ, as is mentioned at the end of
=3D every message that comes out of this list, then perhaps a certain
amount =3D of mild Mladenizing is appropriate.  If they don't know what =
a
FAQ is, =3D any advice coming from this list would most likely be =3D
misused/misconstrued and they should not be on this list.  Same goes for
=3D unsubbing.  I'm not sure about checking the Archives, as I haven't
been =3D there myself yet.

OTOH, honest questions from a FAQ-checking newbie should be welcome and
=3D replied to as though they are the professionals The List caters to.  =
=3D
What better way to move a newbie to novice to intermediate to advanced =
=3D
to Guru?

How about the less experienced listers? I often ignore simple questions,
knowing that this gives an opportunity for junior folks to participate
in the list, and help out those that have even less experience than they
do.

So, what's the consensus
