 Perhaps those who are uninterested in advancing their technical abilities and knowledge should just press [Delete] and move on.

 Perhaps the "mission statement" on the mailing list page should be updated.

Right now it states:  "The purpose of this mailing list is to provide a

Making things more clear might clean things up and also eliminate the
incessant "gatekeeping" which is arguably much more annoying than off-topic
posts.
