They still have to understand that they must put a "supertopic" in the
"Subject:" line, figure out which one, and get it right. This is too
complicated. Most newbies will expect the to work like ordinary email.
They'll send off a message with a subject such as "how do I get on the
net", get it back with an incomprehensible error message, and give up.
Please create "debian-help", and change the install script to offer every
newbie a chance to subscribe. I will subscribe to it and help when I can.
