No, DON'T stop sending them but try to DO something before posting questions.

Hardly "all day free". A FAQ usually has a question list at the beginning,
scan that and see if something fits your problem. And you _can_ reserve
one weekend out of four for reading some manuals. It is good for the soul.

It _is_ a possibility and, by the way, there IS a comp.os.linux.* hierarchy
in the news. You can indeed find many answers there. Again, just read.

Since I never bother with Hebrew, I don't know, but any FAQ on font use
with XFree86 will show you how to install fonts. NTEX has hebrew fonts
and you can find others. (You may have to convert TeX fonts to X11 formats).
