Looking at all the people who quite obviously do NOT "read the posting 
guide and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible 
code", I wonder whether the mailing list could be configured to reply to 
each new mail (not replies in a thread) with an automated mail like this:

"Have you read the posting guide and the FAQs? If you do not get a reply 
within two days, you may want to look at both and think about 
reformulating your query. Oh, and while you are at it, look through the 
archives, a lot of questions have already been asked and answered before."

Just a thought,
Stephan
