That's a waste of everyone's time. The developer has to explain more than once, while users who subscribe to the list have to either preemptively save and categorize important emails or else try to remember enough words from the email that they can google their way to it--and frequently, they give up and ask again anyway. New users, meanwhile, are too scared to ask questions on squeak-dev, which is where you'd have to ask if you really wanted the original coder to respond with a

context.I think JJ was talking about "Design level Whys" if you read his that post, which i replied."Design level Whys" are not important for everyone using it.You should try to solve your doubts first by excersing own mind, its not necessary to ask for whenever u have a why.
