Shouldn't posters who do not do obvious research before asking their
questions have this forcefully pointed out to them? I think they should.
It may put people off posting, but it may also make them do the work.
As a longtime lurker who pays a lot of money for good statistical advice,
I have an idea of what it would cost in the real world to have questions
answered by the people on this list, though the money is not the only
measure, I know.
So it's not a resource that should be treated too lightly, and I think the
onus should be on the questioners rather than the respondents to take this
on board.
Seems to me the list has worked pretty well so far, and I frankly don't see
the need for a change.
