And perhaps better ways to discourage this behavior from new users. This is no different then imagine a few programming newbies join a "Introduction to Programming" class taught at a college by seasoned professor and assisted by graduate teaching assistants. What if TA's start discouraging new students from continuously asking mundane questions? Do the instructors care only about the "performance" of average students in the class so they can go back to their department at the end of the semester and show they have hit a satisfactory passing rate? Or they care about that every student walked away with a good understanding of programming at the end of the day?
