The problem is that such a message has several interpretations, it might
be
- insulting (to the one who asked the question)
- funny
- express shortcomings in how pd works
- explain how to look for objects
- ...

The list should be a place where questions can be asked without fearing
that someone makes fun of you in public, which was my interpretation of
the message.
