Anyone can throw stuff at anyone. But, the people on this list that 
contribute the most are know and appreciated for their selfless work to 
help others.
We are all indebted to them and lately Olle is added to that list in 
documenting Asterisk in an incremental fashion.

These guys are right in occasionally getting a little snarly. Abusing the 
list (for instance by asking a question before they have done the search 
work) is like not valuing these contributors time.

But we do have newbies that with different skill levels. We wont change 
that, we can only influence them for the second and following questions. On 
balance this is a kind, helpful list and we should be thankful for that.

Now given the above, how do we encourage newbies to look for past answers 
first?
