Tom, I think you mean loose, not lose... sorry, editorial intervention from a researcher/writer (self deprecating joke). I try not to do this and I will continue to try to stop this bad habit. Mostly I just want to say that reading the emails from CLUG is informative (and much of what I receive is way out of my depth - newbie thing) but I appreciate being part of these communications.
For new Linux users this a window (sorry maybe poor metaphor) on a new world of possible computer connections. I have a basic understanding of the systems I am learning and appreciate the frustration of experienced users getting email that is not tech oriented. I just wanted to say that for someone learning, being part of general CLUG email is a great resource and inspiration to learn new things.
