I agree with david. I get my 'Hardcore' linux fix from other mailing lists and forums. The Lugs List is where i get to see crazy back and forth mud slinging from mostly intelligent individuals. The discussions on this list frequently come up in other circles that i am involved in such as my job, my linux friends here in the states and my family members that are tech savvy enough to appreciate what is being discussed
