I have been in various mailing lists for the past 12 years
on the Internet myself. Most of the mailing lists come
with a FAQ that describes:
1. the answers to the most commonly raised questions
2. topics that *seem* related to the mailing list but that
do not belong in the list
3. methods to get off the mailing list
All the three help reduce the traffic on the list.
A user of the list is expected to check the relevance of
her question to the list (#3), then check to find the
answer to her question in the FAQ (#1) and then finally
decide to post on the list, if the answer is still not clear
and if the question is relevant to the forum.
May we adopt this method before someone posts a question
on HTTP or TCP/IP (closely related to web programming) to
this list?
Thanks,
Rk
