I think we should put something like this at some visited place:
We would like to help you, but we are very busy. We answer e-mails inour free 
time, so please help us help you. We will first answere-mails that follow this 
simple rules.
>From The Basics of Bug Tracking (FogBugz Documentation):
Every good bug report needs exactly three things.1. Steps to reproduce,2. What 
you expected to see, and3. What you saw instead.
We should also add:
4. Please provide your script and html. Please make it as short aspossible. 
Remove all code and html that is not necessary to reproducethe problem.5. 
Please search mail archive and faq. Your problem may be alreadysolved. Wa are 
very sad when we see a question that is alreadyanswered (and we can not answer 
your question with eyes full oftears). If you find an answer in mail archive 
and not in faq, pleaseadd it to faq.
We should also link to http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
I am not a native speaker. I tried to use style that is friendly, butI am not 
shure if I did a good job.
