I'd hope everyone would agree with you!
Yes, some of the questions to this list (and any mailing list indeed)
are phrased impolitely or outright rude, but let's keep in mind that
for a lot of people English is a second or third language so they may
not be aware of their questions sounding rude. And, quite frankly, I
prefer a poorly phrased question in English than one in Lituanian or
Zulu... ;-)
I certainly don't want to encourage censorship, but I found that, for
me, it works much better to simply ignore questions that I find
impolite, rude, or otherwise offensive.
