I went to the Debian organizations website and it said if a new user (paraphrasing) has a problem to send questions to this email address (did not mention format). I got your message now what about an answer to my question? Is there a site I can go to for this information? Do you know how to solve this problem?

Well, if you say what the problem is, then there's a fighting chance it 
might be addressed?  Keep in mind that this list is very high traffic,
and is manned by volunteers.

I understand that debian is, in fact, doing extremely well, however,
as you say, there's always room to improve.

If you don't like the kind of support you're getting here, you could
consider trying the debian-planet website, or also the irc channel
called #debian which you can get to on irc.debian.org.
