When I find myself in this sort of situation repeatedly, as it appears you do on this topic in this forum, my solution has generally been to assemble a blog post that covers not frequently asked questions but instead frequently delivered answers.

Then rather than getting aggravated at having to repeat myself I just hand them a link to said post and move on.

(and in case you're curious, yes I'm mst on IRC as well, though I think your network got disabled in the last or last but one config prune)
