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?

Suddenly, I heared a tapping, as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door...
