How much did you post to the list? I can only find the following
threads:
Fresh install no network
Neighbor table overflow.. what does it mean
Configuring locales
Enough time wasted, moving on
All of which have (now) been answered. If the answers didn't satisfy you
then why not reply? (as far as I can see, you do read posts on the list,
so I assume that you are subscribed).
There are lots of people on this list who are both willing and capable
of helping you. Don't forget that everybody are volunteers.

Whoa! You haven't mentioned that before. Do we get a chance to help you
before you run off?

As you proably found from your research, debian may not be the easiest
of distributions to install. But it's worth it. Maintenance is *easy*.
