Bad habit, that just encourage them to send more.
However, if you *have* to answer, at least try to be unhelpful. "I
don't know, try asking on the mailing list." "It works for me." "I
agree, that is a bug." "No, I can't think of a workaround that
doesn't involve hacking the Lisp code."
It works for me.
