Besides these FAQs are old and not updated. And there is nothing specific to what this mailing list should actually address. This community is generally more accommodative than most mailing list, but sometime question are not even well thought or searched. mail subject likes like "help" "probe" "hi" "just testing" are utter waste, this mailing list generate enough traffic NOW that such topics are annoying. Most new users never dig archives, so a lot of question are asked over and over again.
