Number of times easily solvable usage problems come up and I look at the log to realize when the solutions suggested were waaaaay suboptimal it is too late (with loops being quite active recently things have improved a lot, but we should not expect him to be 24/7). Maybe somebody can run a dumb 'bot that notices somebody said something that ends with a '?' and there is no activity there for N minutes and inject a recorded message that reminds the mailing list address ;-).
