Feeling itchy to tell me to keep this offlist? STOP. This is a problem that many users are facing. It's not just me. What is being quoted is onlist so my reply shall come onlist so all 700-800 odd users of the mailing list know HOW TO CONFIGURE THEIR MAIL CLIENT TO KEEP THE SPAM BOTS FROM FEEDING ON THE ARCHIVES. Unless its personal, I wont keep it offlist.

For one, a normal user is "lazy". More often than not, many of these users are not adept at searching the internet for resources. It's not even like everyone has a friend who is a Linux savvy person. With windows these users generally have a friend/relative/colleague who is informed enough to help them out.
all I can say is to each his own. Deal with the newbie mails however you wish others can do the same...
