Uh, that hurts :-(

I join another distribution mailing lists and is not so uncommon to see 
questions coming from another OS (linux based).

We are all in the same boat.

I acknowledge every list has it own rules but true is that some questions 
are so wide that are also valid for any kind of linux flavour and every 
list user will get benefit from the responses.

And Ubuntu and Debian are almost "cousins". Well, I think you already  
know my personal point of view about this.
