They don't get flamed. They typically get ignored or someone responds
with a reference to LQW.
In order to get flamed, you have to be a real jerk. You have to ask
lots of stupid questions quickly. You have to ask questions which are
in Dan's FAQ. You have to act as if you've never read
http://www.qmail.org. In other words, it takes real effort to get
flamed.

Nope. Won't work. Feel free to try it.
