My impression is that this comes and goes a bit; occasionally, people
show up that abuse it a bit, and when there's (by random chance) a few
of them active at a time, it seems that we're having more problems,
and then the problem goes away again (because they get qualified
enough to not ask so much).

I see the friendliness of the mailing list as important, and that
these questions aren't much of a problem.  May have to do with my
email client being good at sorting things into threads, though.

Eivind.
