I understand your frustration. The primary purpose of the list is to share 
knowledge of Linux, but it also serves as a watering hole for us geeks. If I 
send out a question and it doesn't get answered, I try to send my final 
solution back to the list anyway. That way the answer will be in the 
archives. I get very frustrated when I find a useful newsgroup thread on 
Google and it degenerates into a discussion about something completely 
different. But you can't stop conversations from digressing.
