Most of the questions that aren't answered in manuals do get attention. Manuals exist for a reason and reading them is one of the core requirements for using OpenBSD and asking questions on various lists.
Theo once said (quoting him sounds super preachy, I know) that "if you can't study the world around you, you will remain ignorant", and this perfectly reflect what is truly important about OpenBSD lists.
This and understanding that some of the questions get answered off the list (I know people who got their answers like this and I know I did help once or twice in this fashion). ;)
- nickysielicki 11y ago+1. The one time I asked a question on an openbsd list, I got quality off-list replies from the developers themselves within 24 hours. If you do your homework and follow the netiquette, things get answered. It's a great community. I just wish people would leave it alone and I wish misc@ would not engage trolls.
