I wish I knew an easy answer :) The answer is purpose. I dont know where it is stated but I'd expect that this list being CLUG would tend to make the newbie questions fine. Also anything related to Christchuch and Linux, GNU/Linux. For the hard questions there is always the other question: Is there another more specialised place anyone has found useful? That could be good for newbies too - to be assisted to discover newbie places. I get a lot from my linux-dell-laptop a yahoo group and also [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd imagine this CLUG list would be great to point someone to where one would look for an answer - knowing how to find the answer that is true knowledge! Of course google groups is the one simple answer to everything! Walter
