And if someone took the time to draft a standard email, get consensus
from "key participants" (whatever than means) and then posted it to the
FAQ, it would make it a lot easier for "helpers" to do it in a
consistent and non judgemental manner.
While you and I can fire off a snippy post with the best of them, if we
instead had a canned reply, that said it was canned and explained where
to see the other ones, only those people that we didn't care if we
offended or not would take offense.

I'll repeat my suggestion of moderating repeat offenders rather than
moderating forums....
