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.
