Agreed. In fact, I'd say it's /always/ more short-term time-efficient
just to tell people an answer if you have it. But doing so doesn't
lead to them learning anything more than that specific bit of
information.

I find the Varnish-misc mailing list to be rather clueful and, unlike
the lists for certain other great bits of F/LOSS, there's usually a
very low level of "solve my problem for me" requests. Read the nginx
list for myriad examples of that pattern in action - it's pretty
boring to be around.

I'm not criticising you for providing the answer in the way you did -
I just personally have a low tolerance for list noise that doesn't do
anything more than advance the state of someone's knowledge purely
linearly. Training people to use the search (http://google.com) and
documentation (https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/3.0/) tools already
at their disposal is always a good thing, IMHO. Even if it's actually
"easier" just to serve the answer up on a plate instead :-)
