There is an archive of the list.

That's a very good idea. Note that this list will be moving over to a
Jive based web forum thing 'soon'. Will that help? I think there could
be a lot of advantages to also having a sight with concise summaries of
conversations on the list/forum. Maybe something more along the lines of
Linux Weekly News? Maybe with a bit more of a faq involved? Please,
though, no FAQ-O-Matic - I've never seen one that answered the question
I needed to ask.
A site like this would need dedicated maintainers, wouldn't it? Or are
you thinking of something different?

Sorry if i was a little terse. I usually try to say RTFM more politely
8^}). You're right, merely referencing a previous conversation was not
helping you much. Would it help if I'd pointed out the (working) archive
links? I'm not being facetious here, this is a genuine question - I'd
like to know how to be more helpful while not having to answer the same
question many times. Would forums make it easier to find these earlier
conversations?

Sigh... We try to be patient. Really we do!
