No, not seriously.

Hi Ronald,
While it was obvious that some responses were farcical, if you review
you'll clearly see that some responses were indeed explanatory
discussion, describing why this approach would not work. This is
completely unnecessary. This particular case non-withstanding, the
instances where this occurs are numerous and regular.
As another example, anyone with half a brain and more than 10 minutes
experience with the internals of PHP knows that it'd be ridiculous to
suggest that PHP's array type be re-written to act like Java or .NET.
The fact that it is ridiculous is implicit, we all know it, it doesn't
need to be said.
Okay, now I'm done wasting everyone's time. I don't want to continue
to exacerbate the very issue I'm speaking against, but please just
consider it -- by responding to the noise, you're creating the very
problem you want to solve through moderation. Show a little self-
restraint (vis-a-vis http://xkcd.com/386/).
(For the record, I am all for making the list read-only for anyone
without karma. It'd make my morning routine much less aggravating.)
Thanks,
- Nate
