    Is it just me or are we having a sudden spurt of e-mail that goes
    like this:

        Q: How do I do X?

Yup, I was just thinking the same thing.


    I'm convinced that these people are either trolls or inherently
    "un-helpable," unless you want to write their code for them.

    In either case I think the only sane response is to completely
    ignore these people as soon as this pattern emerges, because it's an
    utter waste of the time we could be using to help others -- the
    reason we're on this list in the first place.

    Also, ignoring them is probably the only way to discourage repeat
    offences.


+1, sound like a sane plan.
