I bemoan the apparent inability of those asking such questions to use the resources provided to solve these problems for themselves...

Looking at all the people who quite obviously do NOT "read the posting guide and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code", I wonder whether the mailing list could be configured to reply to each new mail (not replies in a thread) with an automated mail like this:

"Have you read the posting guide and the FAQs? If you do not get a reply within two days, you may want to look at both and think about reformulating your query. Oh, and while you are at it, look through the archives, a lot of questions have already been asked and answered before."

Just a thought,
Stephan
