It's not just you. I think the big difference is Ubuntu: before it was available, the discussions were technical and generally distro agnostic. These days the discussions tend to be less technical and more about how to achieve Y in distro Z. There's even a tendency towards assuming the reader uses Ubuntu too with statements like, "I'm running Awful Albatross" without qualifying that that is a version of Ubuntu. Finally, there is a misunderstanding of the expectations of pre-release/beta software. This is true of LUG lists in general, not just this one. -- "You can have everything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want" - Zig Ziglar.
