Thank you for your reaction, which I would typify as "succinct" or perhaps
even "terse".

Your FAQs and reactions on this list have one commonality, namely that they
don't provide any real answers to any of the questions.

I asked a detailed question about USB support. Is it a hardware problem? Is
it a software problem? The response: it doesn't work because it is a lot of
work. That is not an answer to the question.

Every message closes with the ubiquitous "invitation" which one can sum up
as "we know that X doesn't work, but feel free to help us." If you are
trying to encourage new developers, be aware you'll have more success with
honey than with vinegar.
