I don't know about that -- when I write stuff to an email list, I
like to get at least one answer, even if it's rude/vague/useless.
If there's total silence then I don't know if anybody cares, or if
they're busy and planning a long rebuttal, or if the network
simply ate my email. Sometimes I end up looking through the web
email archive just to get reassurance that the email actually went
out.

I didn't take it as a joke. For unknown users, I would propose a
brief sentence and a link to the new "help us" page. That doesn't
really help for regular contributors, so having a different set
answer might be good for them.
