Eheheh... In a way, that's for sure. In another way: - write code does not require to be smart. You can be completely stupid and write code which works well enough. This is for me a wrong assumption, but very common to this society, than thinking that technical/scientific jobs (this means mainly "engineers") mean cleverness. - When you don't use a lot mailing lists (which is my case), you don't know necessarily by heart the typical "commands" for the mailing lists bots. For my own, as I said, I always go back to the xmpp.org website, then follow the sidebar menu's links (Discuss, etc.), to arrive to the html interface for managing one's subscription (note while we are on the subject that his "Discuss" page is not really up to date, some of the new mailing lists are missing, like the "social" one, and I always have to modify by hands urls of other lists' links in order to access the management and archives pages). But yes in other ways, the people (and they are many) who write to everybody in the list are not the most resourceful because they could have searched a little without disturbing everybody and creating such discussion. But I don't think they should be blamed for this.
