Tell me about it. Case in point: A few (3 or 4 I think) months ago there was a spate of Year 2000 questions on -questions. Getting bored of wading through these, I put together various bits and pieces and created the FreeBSD Y2K web page where these things are addressed. Once, sometimes twice a day someone comes into -questions and asks "Is FreeBSD Y2K compliant?" (or a variant on that theme). At least now they're generally just given the URL in a one or two line message and it's left at that. But it is disheartening to know that they didn't bother checking the site, the search engine or the mailing list archives first.
