It's common advice to read up a bit on a mailing list before posting the
first time.

It avoids asking the same questions for the third time one day
(particularly dangerous if you discussed this previously on some other
forum since others might already have taken it to the list), and it
helps figuring out how people are communicating.

Of course, if you first listen in to conversation in a bar and then
approach a stranger with "Hi, asshole.  How's the old wife?" then you
still might get a worse result than the person you witnessed delivering
that exact line previously.

But it's still a good rule of thumb.
