[luau] List Policy

Aloha,

Come on guys, this has been blown WAY out of proportion!  This was someone
asking for help.  The second guy said he heard about linux from the CompUSA
thing and wanted help.  This list used to be about helping people and not
chastising them for asking for help!  It is okay to give someone free help,
but insulting if they offer to pay a little money?

This list used to be about talking about open source and helping each other
learn new things about open source, no matter if they are newbies or geeks
who have been using Unix since it only ran on a PDP-11.

I think we need to calm down a little, this is supposed to be about
building the open source community in Hawaii, isn't it?
