I'm as guilty as the next guy when it comes to off topic responses, but 
I will say this, often I'll see a posting and actually research the 
problem myself.  I don't have the answer, but I think I can find it, or 
provide it.  It is those times that I'll often answer with short single 
line responses, like a web url.

I think Jonathan pretty much nailed it.  The ALE is a community.  A 
community that has come together because of a unique interest, but a 
community just the same.  We are here to help and share.  Help because 
we believe in or enjoy this thing called Linux.  Share because we are human.

Don't get put off by not getting a solution.  No one here is an expert 
in everything, but there are some that are pretty damn good at a lot of 
it.  This isn't my only Linux list either, so going to a dist. list 
might be a reasonable solution.  I wouldn't leave this one though...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
