In my opinion, I wish folks were less eager to chastise on this list. While I share your sentiments about some of the questions, I also feel as resentful (if not more so) towards the negative comments that accompany them. I think we are doing a disservice when we characterize a person as lazy, etc. for asking a "silly" question. It leads others to feel they might become the object of the community's scorn, harassment, and wrath if they ask a question which doesn't meet everybody's criteria for acceptability. My respect for Ray's administration of the list is immense, and I trust him to address inappropriate postings in a firm, respectful manner (which he does admirably). I would leave the responsibility and privilege of censoring this list to Ray - he's earned it, and proven capable of doing so in an exemplary manner.
