Long time subscriber and contributor to the mailing list here, but
using a sock puppet address since this is not a nice thing to do.

Recently there has been a series of emails to the list with lazy
questions and answers. While the frequency of questions by itself is
nothing too concerning, my observation is that often the responses to
the detailed and well-crafted responses from our community is quite
lazy - with follow-up questions that could easily be solved by reading
documentation or doing a simple search.

Looking at one user in particular, I noticed that they have been doing
this on and off on various mailing lists, on average starting over 100
threads across the lists I happen to follow, per year, since 2015.

I understand that it is up to the individual to decide if they want to
put in the time and effort to answer user questions, but at this point
I feel like a warning is due: this is a user mailing list, but it does
not mean you should use the community's time to hand-hold you or as a
replacement for doing your own research.

I would also expect one to have a basic understanding of how network
and load-balancing architectures work if one is in the field for at
least the last 6 years. There are also various guides on these
subjects on the internet, no need to get our community members to
re-explain them to you.
