I think there are other people on this list that feel basically the way I do. If you ask a question that implies you haven't done any of the research yourself, I give you the answer on a silver platter, and many others won't either. I get about 200 messages a day, and if we can't prune out the noise, I'll unsubscribe, just as many others have. I suggest we have one or two new lists, call them freebsd-lazy, freebsd-cheap, or combine them as freebsd-lazy-and-cheap. Then you can spend your leisure time answering questions that the authors of the questions should have/could have answered themselves, if they had put forth the effort. I certainly can understand someone who has no experience asking "where do I begin", and I have helped many people such as this. But I am tired of going thru hundreds of "I didn't read ANY FAQs, handbooks, web pages, or any thing else. Would somebody please install and administer my system for me because it'll make me money." You are responsible for the poor signal to noise ratio. And we need to do something about it.
