You should note that nobody with an @gentoo.org game is playing your
20 questions game either.

If you want help on a mailing list it helps to post as much info as
possible from the start.  If you're getting an error when running a
script is helpful to provide both the script and the exact error
message you're receiving.  You were asked for more info and see to be
determined to avoid giving it.

In my experience the people who are most likely to give you the most
helpful replies tend to also be the first people to hit mute on a
thread when the person asking for help seems determined to make this
as painful as possible.  They're not getting paid to help people out,
so cooperation goes a long way.

It is easy to get replies on a mailing list.  It is harder to get useful ones.
