i sent the mail to ask those newbies to learn how to write mails.
mails like 'hey it doens't work! help me!' won't work even from newbies -
unless they want to send it to /dev/null but mistyped and sent to the list
via | sendmail :)

they DO EXPECT valuable answer but they are UNABLE TO WRITE VALUABLE QUESTION.

heh?
you mean that developers should not read this list? yea you may be right,
and many of teh developers don't read this. probably the last ones -
including me -s hould leave, but wonder who will answer those not-so-silly
questions (appearing sometimes) then? you will?

nope
they don't read teh archives, nor mails with different subject than their
mail. this must be the reason why the same question is posted 10 times at
the same day by different loosers...
