[Vxl-maintainers] Idiotic problem reports on vxl-users and what to do about it.

[Ian S. <ian...@st...>]

There appears to have been an sustained outbreak of stupidity on 
vxl-users in the past few weeks. I feel it is unfair to ignore such 
emails in case the author really does need some advice --- even if that 
advice is "Learn the basics (e.g. how to structure meaningful questions) 
before attempting such advanced topics as programming, let alone 
computer vision."

Alternatively I am tempted (and inspired by AWF's recently post) to 
treat them as opportunities for sport.

Is anyone of a more even temperament prepared to write (and name more 
appropriately) a  webpage entitled "How not to appear a complete prat 
when posting to vxl-users" webpage. A quick and appropriate reply could 
then be offered to these poor people.

Any comments, offers, or better jokes, greatly appreciated.

Ian.
