Hacker News Reader

Nearly every week without fail, random people email me to ask random/dumb questions about projects I have on Github that are clearly marked Read Only/Archived. It's not worth my time to respond to assinine, pointless emails. I'm not their employees, and I owe these people NOTHING. Still, some of these people email me to scream their entitlement as to why I haven't answered their email to solve their problems. (LOL) They just don't get it. (LOL some more.)

FWIW I would never write an email like that to you. I would begin by thanking you for the work, then asking my question, then probably closing the email because I have successfully rubber-ducked my question, then days later rewriting the draft again with a better question, and finally ending the email with "If you ever get a chance, I'd appreciate you pointing me in the right direction" or somesuch.
