The typcial usenet way of dealing with this situation is to put the
frequently asked question in a Frequently Asked Question list (FAQ),
then just point the requestor to the FAQ.

The problem is that our FAQ maintainer put an exclusive copyright to
himself on the FAQ, then quit maintaining it. This issue is now being
worked. But in the meantime we have the current unfortunate situation
where someone who asks a FAQ is liable to either get exasperated answers
or, if everyone is feeling especially civil, no answer at all.

Anyway the "problem" is hopefully a temporary one. In the meantime new
readers here should run their questions through the deja search engine
(at http://www.deja.com/home_ps.shtml ). This is actually better than a
FAQ, but also a fair bit more work.
