Hopefully it goes like this from then on:

4) One lurks on the list for a little while, looks at the archives or 
(horror or horrors) READS http://www.openbsd.org/mail.html and realises 
that the OpenBSD lists are not places to annoy people with questions 
answerable in a few minutes with google or "man -k".

5) One spends the requisite minutes with google

6) If one is still unsatisfied, one posts to misc@ briefly mentioning 
that one has checked the archives and the manpages.

I haven't seen anyone who has done their homework get abused unless what 
they propose is terribly stupid to begin with.
