I think you got cut off up there. O_o |

This is one thing about this list. I'm always finding some tidbit of |
| 28 |
info that makes something easier. My problem, remembering it. I |
| 29 |
generally follow a thread even when I have no clue what a person is |
| 30 |
talking about because it is a package that I've never even heard of. |
| 31 |
Sometimes I learn something, sometimes I might even be able to post |
| 32 |
about a different view point to solve a problem. Still, I follow about |
| 33 |
every post, just in case I might find something of value or can maybe |
| 34 |
help in some small way. |

I'm about to work on dovecote again. It's something I'm totally |
| 37 |
clueless about. I think I got the config setup because I can start the |
| 38 |
service without it puking on my keyboard. Thing is, I have no idea what |
| 39 |
to do with it after that. I had trouble setting up Seamonkey to get my |
| 40 |
emails from gmail. I had to google and look at pics and such. |
| 41 |
Eventually my hammer found the right nail. Thing about this list, I'll |
| 42 |
get help because there is likely a lot of people on here who use |
| 43 |
Dovecote and know what to do. |
| 44 |

Yep, this is a awesome list, for getting help, learning new things or |
| 46 |
giving help to someone else. What's so neat, everyone does it with a |
| 47 |
healthy dose of respect, even when dealing with some strange characters, |
| 48 |
like me. Then we have Neil with his funny and sometimes odd signature |
| 49 |
lines. I like the recent one about the cannibals and the clowns. ROFL |
