When an e-mail to a mailing list generates no response, there are several possible interpretations:

Nobody cares.
It's so brilliant, no further discussion is necessary.
It's so blindingly stupid, it doesn't deserve comment.

Named after Bryan C. Warnock, who first described the Dilemma on the perl5-porters mailing list.
