Dan,
This has nothing to do with flaming. Its one of the basic netiquette rules
(email writing rules). Check any of these links for more details:

An example of a priority issue would be if you had a debian production
server that was facing some issues in the server. You may be anxious and
about learning linux, and want to install debian as soon as you can,
however, this is not a high priority issue. The priority of a message is
proportional to its real life importance.
You dont call 911 and ask for directions everytime you are lost, do you?
