Although this may sound like a good idea at first though, I really don't see how
it can work - the only questions which really generate RTFMs and haranguing are
the truly dumb ones (that don't actually include enough information to give
anyone a hope of answering correctly), and the ones which have already been
asked and answered in the past fortnight or so. I agree that the traffic on this
list can be absurdly high, but I think that is an unavoidable artefact of the
large Cygwin user base.
