I use as a general rule:

If it has been a while, or maybe it was during the test phase I try to
include a link to the thread in the archives.

If it is the third time in a day, it is right at the top of the archives,
so why bother.

Taking the example from the subject of this message.  There were many
threads about up2date the last time a kernel came out.  There will be many
threads about it when the next one comes out (you see, I'm a realist :-). 
If it has been a while and I reply, I would probably point back to one of
the replies here.  If someone else has already answered it recently and a
new thread starts I would probably say "just search the archives it was
answered very recently".
