Scott is right. Houghi, quit trying to defend yourself here. Just try it his way for a while. That is MY experience - I side with Scott. RP houghi wrote:

It's a middle ground that I've seen work well both to keep lists on topic and to make people feel welcome.
Unfortunatly I have see it fail on lists. People just kept posting more and more, because their questions where answerd anyway. I asume it is only logic that IF people give an answer that they point out the correct place as well.
The only reason I can think of why people keep posting, even when asked not to do, is because they are getting answers. If you tell me the pub is closed and you keep giving me beer, I won't leave. I only leave when I can get (or take) any more beer. ;-)
Other people look and see that questions are answerd anyway, so these people also have no need to go elsewhere. That at least is my experience.
