I usually ignore unreasonable or idiotic help requests by email these days. Perhaps it's time I wrote a boilerplate message.
I do get more sensible help requests, often connected with the "I had this obscure problem and here's how I solved it" pages I've put up. I don't mind helping people with those things...
(Before anyone takes this as an invitation to email me all their random geek questions: choosing a relevant public forum will often lead to a higher quality of response.)
