Could the reason be that more often than wanted the answer to
emails on the Isabelle mailing lists is:

 "person ?X, you have no business here"

 "any changes to ?X are restricted to exactly one person"

 you are on the wrong mailing list (isabelle vs isabelle-dev)

 you did not look up the history from ?X years ago

 you did not follow conventions (usually about *informal*
 conventions for theory names, ML-styles, source comments etc)

 you better refer to changesets with [cryptic] hashes like dd6dd81381fb

 this is not a bug, but a running gag


Maybe the latter answers might be more perceived answers
than actual answers, but I hope people get the gist.

Please, this is getting ridiculous. I shall ignore that on this thread, and still hope for some genuine contributions to the serious matters behind it.
