People who think they understood the question and give an irrelevant
answer are a bane for mutual help mailing-lists and forums. At best they
are a waste of time; at worst, they confuse users or prevent the actual
answer from being found.

Have you never searched an issue on the web, found a thread in an Ubuntu
forum with the exact problem you have, and been disappointed to find a
dozen irrelevant answers, with only a superficial relation to the
question.

I do not want the Debian mailing-lists to look more like Ubuntu forums.

If you are not sure you understood the question precisely, just shut up.
Somebody else will probably give a more relevant answer. And if it does
not happen, you can still reply a few hours later.

Let us not behave like schoolchildren. The first to answer will not get
an image.
