Not really strongly enough, when it's about being hard to newcomers who post
without having read the group, not telling the URL, and making a most
uncivilized attack on a _person_ after their _posting behavior_ and _HTML
skills_ have been demonstrated to be very poor. We don't want such
newcomers; that's best to all other readers, including civilized newcomers
with some minimum supply of clues.
