what makes you assume that ? i usually read a thread before answering,
have often enough come across that document and i dont find an ESR
document particulary helpful as an excercise of the ubuntu code of
conduct ... nor do i find it any kind of appropriate for this ML

great, so that guy who is not knowing about something and is couraged
enough to ask on an ubuntu support list should be graceful that you did
what this list is for ? 
if you support with that attitude (giving proper support is a waste of
your time and people have to be thankful for getting slapped with an
acronym they probably dont even know), if your highest amount of time
you want to invest into support is pointing people to a document where
the headline for the explanation of RTFM tells them that  "You've
Seriously Screwed Up", did you think about doing something else for
ubuntu instead ?

several people (one of the ML admins being among them) have told you it
is not appropriate, how about just accepting it ?
