I've been on this list for just over six years and have seen questions from
all of you at one time or another that could be found elsewhere (including
myself), and I seen patient people answer those questions in a civilized
manner.  Anyone can answer, "search the archives", "check the
knowledgebase", or "RTFM", but if that's the pat answer, why have a list at
all?  That's not always what a list is about.

Sorry for the follow-up post.  I promise I'm done now...  ;-)

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish
and you feed him for life.

Precisely!

If they learn how to search the archives and knowledge base then we
wont see the same questions over and over again.
