I'd say "arrogant" is a bit harsh. There are mailing lists where there 
is a good summary culture (haven't come across one lately though, remember
it rather from 15 years ago) which doesn't make you feel excluded, 
rather quiet mailing list where a sudden lengthy discussion would cause
people to react bewildered and alienated, and specialized questions 
which only interest a handful readers, who could always contact the 
original contributor for more information.

This list and Hans' question doesn't fit any of the criteria. Therefore I
agree with Tom's conclusion:

but I'd say that there are situations where it would be best to follow 
Hans' request.

                              One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture
