That statement gives the impression of treating the members of this 
mailing list as though they were some kind of natural-language answer-
bot, not as human beings.

If that's the sort of interaction you want, try searching the GCC 
compiler documentation in /Developer, which exhaustively lists every 
warning and the flags to enable or disable it. Search algorithms don't 
not talk back and are not programmed to give you coding advice. 
Humans, on the other hand, will consider the context beyond the 
literal question you asked, and address that context if it's 
significant enough. As it is in this case.
