The size of the Ubuntu community negates the need to post in my opinion. Any problem I might encounter has already been & addressed.
Don't think I've posted to a Ubuntu mailing list but have of course used the Ubuntu forums & Ask Ubuntu a number of times. They appear safe(r). I receive very little spam & this Lubuntu mailing list is the only danger issue on my radar right now. In fact quite often when posting to Ubuntu forums or Ask Ubuntu the support (KB) for Lubuntu was lacking. One reason for switching to Ubuntu. I used to enjoy being on the frontier of IT but now am older & just want things to work. Really want to put my idle time to better use doing the things I missed out on & am trying to keep this gmail id as clean as possible.
