By thinking rigidly about "advice" and "help", advice is under help's
jurisdiction, as it is how it says below.

By {M-x wordnut-search RET advice RET}:

advice -- (a proposal for an appropriate course of action)

Most of help on a mailing list is in the form of advice.

And by thinking flexibly, it is difficult to sense on distance what
type of help is expected by person seeking help.  That opens another
question if people should try conforming expectations of type of help
or if people should keep providing the best possible answer by their
opinion.
