> I know everyone here is NOT in favour of the hobbiest,

I think this list is primarily for the hobbiest.  However a hobbiest or
anyone else posting a question to the list needs to keep in mind that they
are asking 2000 people to do them a favor, and should act accordingly.
Things that annoy me are:

1  -  People that are too lazy to trim all the original message from the
reply except that needed for context by the reply.

2  -  People that are too stupid or too arrogant to send properly wrapped
PLAIN TEXT email.  Lines should be wrapped to no longer than 80 characters.

3  -  HTML or MIME encoded email.

4  -  People that think that because we exist we owe them an answer without
them having to do any work, like check the archives, do a Google search, or
(Oh, no!) read the manual.

5  -  Did I mention email that isn't plain text and trimmed?
