The fact of the matter is that new subscribers are steadily joining the list as others unsubscribe from time to time. Those new subscribers come to the list with diverse backgrounds, diverse experiences with other mailing lists, and differing levels of prior preparation.
Exchanges like the present thread serve to communicate list conventions to those new subscribers and to facilitate responses to questions from more expert fedora users who want to assist other users.
Bitching and bellyaching about a very modest effort to promote and maintain community conventions is unhelpful at best and bordering on the infantile.
