Where in hell were you during true episodes of bandwidth waste! 

The fact of the matter is that new subscribers are steadily joining the 
list as others unsubscribe from time to time.   Those new subscribers 
come to the list with diverse backgrounds, diverse experiences with 
other mailing lists, and differing levels of prior preparation.

Exchanges like the present thread serve to communicate list conventions 
to those new subscribers and to facilitate responses to questions from 
more expert fedora users who want to assist other users.

Bitching and bellyaching about a very modest effort to promote and 
maintain community conventions is unhelpful at best and bordering on the 
infantile.
