I have never personally seen anyone in this discussion group ask "how to turn a router on". Perhaps you have and, in that case I might agree with you. However, what is easy for you may not be so easy for someone else.
I think this thread was started by someone asking a simple question about salaries. The subject was stated plainly in the subject line, so anyone who sorts by subject just simply doesn't have to read it. If you feel as though the subject doesn't belong on the group then why not just ignore the thread vice sending a scathing, derogatory reply that has the sole purpose of making you feel good? As far as the group being a free consulting service, every group member is a volunteer. >No one needs a suit of armor to join a discussion. They just need to join >it intelligently.
