Re: ALL "NEWBIE" QUESTIONS

Someone very wise once pointed out that the only stupid qustion is the
one you don't ask!

I for one have asked what seem to me now as trivial/stupid/outright
weird questions, but I have had very helpful and useful answers from
people on this list, and I'm not afraid to answer other people's
questions if they are within my ability to answer.

just my $0.02 worth.

PS:  Keep up the good work Matt and Geoff, I for one am proud to be a
member of Linuxsa and the associated mailing list.
