Only the ones that sufficiently annoy me.

A support question is being placed with IBM.

But newsgroups often think of angles that support does not.

Umm.  I'm not a sysadmin.  If we had such a person, I wouldn't be doing 
the debugging.  Few people even know that NTP exists, let alone how it 
works well enough to debug an installation.  When there is a time 
problem, the sysadmins come and grab me to help them.  So far, I've 
always been able to figure the problem out.
