Yes, but they must (be made to) understand that the list should deal with technical linux questions. To wallow in disk-space consuming questions is just plain annoying. It doesn't even show the good side of linux and its users.....
True enough, but being users, you can just prod them with a pitchfork and tell them that this is a technical list, for technical matters, for technical folks. AND do remember that PLUG (the list) is actually plug+plug-newbies now (posts to plug-newbie automatically get to plug.) Its even more annoying if your typical Windows-migrating-to-Linux user doesn't get the help s/he needs, and instead get an RTFM or thereabouts, or worse, STFU and RTFM. Instead, we'd all get another flaming Linux newbie and a waiting troll... I do suppose that instead of this list, I think we could divert users to other, perhaps more accessible paths; would getting, say, the #PLUG IRC channel more publicly visible, or providing user-contributed docs in a Wiki, be a better approach? -- Zak B.
