I would think that constructive suggestions would accomplish much more than
flame bait like calling folk "turds".
Suggestions:
Why not steer those who can do nntp to alt.folklore.computers? a.f.c
carries discussions on all aspects of computer history, including many of
the topics discussed here.
Before flaming folk for ignoring the FAQ, make it readily available. Stick
the FAQ URL at the bottom of every re-mailed message to act as a constant
reminder.
Experienced users tend to ignore belligerent posts rather then respond to
them and waste time with pointless arguments. A gentle reminder to read the
FAQ will often suffice.
Finally: moderate, or get off the pot. Have you ever been a member of a
committee without a chairman? Can you say: slugfest?
