I'll second that.  (Or, maybe it's ``I'll third that.'')  I think it's
important that we state the goal and keep it in mind.  My understanding of
the goal is to reduce the number of repetitive postings of common questions.

A posting like the one Glenn suggests will be enough for people with both a
question and enough net-experience (or common sense and courtesy) to look
around for the answer before posting.  I'm afraid that people lacking those
qualities will post no matter what sort of ``routine posting'' we have.
