We try to keep it open, but after the 30th post from someone trying to get
help with their projects at work, it does get annoying. It feels like
people take advantage of the fact that there is such a deep pool of talent
out there. "Well, I guess I could search on google or read a man page, but
why do it when I can post to the UUG, UUG Newbies, Plug, and UPHPU?"
Frank's post sums it up in my opinion.

Ok, here's one. Please use the shift key. This is one of the few messages
you've posted that has CAPS in it.

Well, then I invite you to come to a meeting or two.
