I've been active on several technical helplists over the years and from my 
experience I'll tell you what would happen.  We'd get

A) People posting a description of a problem and attaching big databases and 
expecting everyone reading to download their attachment, reproduce the problem 
and solve it for them.  They won't try very hard to solve it themself before 
posting.

B) People posting screenshots of various SQLite management applications, 
thinking that because they have SQLite in their name, bugs in the app should be 
fixed here.

C) People posting screenshots of error messages which mention SQLite, but which 
are actually caused by bugs in a program which uses SQLite, not SQLite itself.

The list would soon get so drowned in these things it would be useless for 
solving the slightly more technical problems we currently see.

By presenting a small challenge to anyone who wants to get a problem solved 
here, we filter out the "try once, give up, don't read the documentation just 
ask for help" brigade.
