jimf for you and the others on various channels I have to say thanks. I have done the IRC help thing off and on, and rapidly discovered I dont have the temperment for it for the most part. The ever present need for people capable of translating things into plain english will never go away, so thanks for being willing to help.

For me I'll stick to kicking out the occasional how-to when the urge strikes and I have a decent topic at hand.

As I think I said in the piece, support is not for everyone. We all need to do what we can to make the Linux and its community a better place. Support is only one of those ways.
