Yeah but just imagine the number of people who said "What a whiner" and 
created a mail rule to route your mail to their junk folder from now on...

Perhaps because people don't feel like holding everyone else's hand.  Or 
maybe because you issue had been covered before and a little searching 
would dig it up for you.  Or maybe because they just didn't feel like it.

No it doesn't.  It needs people who can use the tools provided to them 
(i.e. searchable mailing list archives and google ) to get their 
questions answered.  If your mail client can't present this list to you 
in a useful fashion (hint: threaded) then it's time to explore a new 
mail client.

That was kind of my point to you.  We collectively don't CARE if you get 
a Tivo.  So you coming to the list saying "if you don't help me I'm 
going to get a Tivo" doesn't matter at all.
