I think you miss understood the point of my statements quoted below. Also if you return to look at my original post you will see that I said that in-spite of the fact that many answers to troubleshooting can be more readily found else where we should continue to help and advice people, then I go on to state that this scenario is much like discussing topics our list members are interested in.
If people are going to ask if the newest version of Norton System Works is compatible with Mac OS X with out even looking at the Norton website then I see little difference between that and some one asking what Mac users [list members] know about Lindows. Both are seeking information about things they could readily find somewhere else. Neither of these cases is outlandish or unreasonable, its not like its an extreme case of someone asking for advice buying skis.
