But yet I've gotten a number of helpful responses from others on the
list with ideas I'm checking out.

Have you been reading this list long and seen the wide range of topics
on this list? There have even been discussions on whether Ubuntu
questions are off topic here or not. This list has a wide range of
topics and is almost never ruled by anything other than anarchy.

I didn't say *use*. I said many DDs *WORK ON*, as in they get paid to
do work on Ubuntu. In other words, there are many people that work as
devs for both distros.

You are not the only person on this list who can help people. Notice
I've gotten a number of helpful responses.

List admins telling us what can and can't be posted here? Okay, I
didn't realize you're new here and thought someone actually told people
what to post.

You're trying to be friendly about enforcing your view of what should
and should not be posted. You're concerned about bandwidth but you've
already wasted more than my post did.
