You're taking a rather arrogant approach aren't you?
You claim to be speaking for yourself *AND* the majority of subscribers for this list. Did you actually consult the majority of subscribers? Or are you just *assuming* they share your views? Because you didn't consult me and you are not expressing my views either.
While posts can occasionally be a waste of time, I think the right approach is to reply to any post that isn't outright spam with a polite reply. It doesn't need to be lengthy. Not everyone is going to ask an "interesting" question but I think everyone deserves basic courtesy. We were all beginners once and we have all been helped into the correct path at some point by people who knew more about something than we did. If experienced people had simply given the cold shoulder to everyone who knew less than they did, none of us would know as much as we now do, including you.
Naturally, you are free to ignore this suggestion but please don't presume to speak for others, let alone a majority of others, unless you have actually consulted those you claim to speak for.

Speaking for myself and the majority of the people who subscribe to this list, please post only relevant and useful questions and information. If a question seems just too basic, just don't respond. Surely don't reply to its reply or post 2nd opinions. Let's keep it useful, informative, and professional. I'm sure you all don't want this list to become moderated.

At least that't what I want to think.

can be very entertaining ;-)
