! What if I have questions that aren't wireless specific?

! I don't do computers, and my computer is running really slow. A friend told me to "defrag" my hard disk or something. Can you guys help me?

No, we're a group of enthusiests and are not tech support.

----

! OK then, what if I'm having trouble accessing hotmail when I'm using wireless on a laptop? Surely you can fix it for me!

If the problem only occurs when using a wireless connection maybe, but probably still no.

----

! How do I ask a question on the mailing list?

----

! Nobody replied to my question - are you ignoring me?

Probably not, perhaps nobody has an answer or people are to busy to answer it. Try looking at Eric Raymond's Essay on (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html How To Ask Questions The Smart Way), which will help you ask better questions and may even lead you to fix your own problem which is the best way to learn.

! I don't have the time to use the mailing list. Can someone call me on the phone?

If you don't have time to deal with us - A group of volunteers - the way we ask to be dealt with, then we don't want to deal with you.
