If this were even half true it would probably be ok.  The problem is most
of the posts have nothing to do with game programming.  Instead they are
requests for general information on VGA, mouse control, etc.

Just because the poster intends to use this information to write a game
does not make the post game-related -- anymore than it would be game
related if I posted a question asking trivial questions about programming
in C, just because I was going to write a game in it.

I'm willing to accept that occasionaly there might be a question that 
involved VGA and was directly related to game programming.  But 99.99% of i
what is posted here are NOT game related, but just general questions i
about programming on an IBM.

BTW:  Please don't think that all msdos programmers are jerks with no sense of 
net.courtesy -- I do most of my casual programming on an msdos machine, and 
somehow I managed to figure out that this wasn't the appropriate place to 
ask how VGA works.  .
