Come on, you guys, you're both right.  Sometimes, the guy with the info is
too busy to help.  Sometimes, the guy doing the asking wants everyone else
to do his work for him.  The real rule is, don't reply if you don't have
something constructive to say, and be polite, even if it seems the guy
you're answering has a few loose bolts.

Outside of that, we are all on our own, and you can't enforce stuff on a
volunteer organization.
