You pretty clearly implied it was, if you didn't actually say it.

Because most of the people on this list DO mind answering it, and they
also mind having to see the same questions posted over and over again.
My apologies if I'm speaking for too many people here, but I don't think
my assumption is too far off.

Mailing lists are "push" sources of information. When new information
comes out, it's sent to everyone. No one wants to have the same
information fed to them over and over again; that's what we have "pull"
sources (references, docs, man pages, FAQs, list archives, etc) for.
Not to be rude here, but if you aren't reasonably sure your question is
valid and important, you should go check the other resources first and
make sure it hasn't been answered before.
