I for one think this is one of the most tolerant list around, non of the
typical READ THE ARCHIVES, That has been answered go search. Many pop back
with an answer and may remind us forgetting fools (me included) that it is
in the archives but yet answer anyway. That is building a sense of
community.

Also just because it's in the archives doesn't mean it is relevant today.
Things change, people find other answers or improvements all the time.

We are on a list for a certain flavor of server appliance and the List
Masters (they think they are) do the READ THE ARCHIVES with out adding any
help. Because of that mentality we helped start a mirrored list with out the
RULES that discourage others.
