The first problem you solve yourself will not have been solved by
someone else who may ask the list about it.
When you read their post, you can say "Hey, I'm not such a newbie
after all!" and tell them how you fixed it.
Don't decry your own abilities! With Linux, unlike Windoze, you can
poke around and learn more than you think you've learnt.
To reduce the volume of mails, subscribe to the digest. I reckon
that's essential. Don't be misled by the term "digest" into thinking
it's just the most interesting bits: it's the whole lot, but not in
100000000 little bits.
