Indeed there is a standard response. In fact, the FAQ has a few
paragraphs on the subject! Pity the FAQ wasn't consulted before

You know, the FAQ is mentioned in the welcome message when you sign up

Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

There really is no excuse for not reading the FAQ.
