It's very common that someone reports a bug, sends a message to vim-dev,
and it turns out the user didn't read the documentation properly (since
there is so much of it).  Or someone asks a question on vim-use about
how to make something work, and it turns out to be a bug.

Most wasteful is having discussions about what should be posted where.
Just use common sense and be forgiving.
