My problem is that I see high volume requests from some people with little 
time in between the requests and about matters getting more and more away from 
the subject at hand, which more than likely points to people not taking the 
time to look for answers themselves on the internet but choosing the easy path 
of free advice on a mailing list. This community is about helping each other 
out after having done the necessary research oneself.  At least that's how I 
see it. Mind you, I'm at risk stating this, because I frequently am scratching 
my head in the face of nasty problems and challenges with tight deadlines, but 
I try to self reliant to the max and only if I'm at the end of my wits, I will 
consult the list.

No chill pills needed.
