I tired long time ago of jerks who simply reply with "RTFM" or "Google it!" instead of helping out. Sure, my time and energy is limited, but I try my best to help out anyone who has a question. Not everyone is a developer, and not every developer has the time to help people out. So, I think it's the responsibility of every user of Open Source-software to try to help other people out. Sitting on your knowledge as if it was a golden egg isn't the proper way to go, it's already to common among proprietary vendors to guard their knowledge in order to maintain "an edge" or other deprecated corporate secrets.

It only set me back with 299 Sek wich I regard as a bargain compared with other "bibles". I found it at PC-City, the last place i would imagine selling them. BTW I bought i Ubuntu bible från Wileys.

I don't regard is as a forum to spew my ego around, it's my safety valve. Without it I probably would go insane for real. But I do like a good discussion so thats why I never gonna close my comment function. Perhaps if the comments are way out of line I would react. But not close the comment field. By the way, I do like that you occasionally take some of your precious time to give a helping hand to a Ubuntu/Linus newbie. I do hesitate to send you to many questions before I have given all other information sources a good search. But some times I can't help sending it.

The original reason for this was that I got massive amounts of spam on old posts, but today Akismet can handle most of that spam. It is comfortable to know that all comments are relevant to recent posts, but with the post frequency going low and better spam control it would probably be a good idea to keep the comment form open for a longer time. Not to avoid being a poser, but to make sure that I get the feedback I keep on asking for. :) I disable comments when the post is 21 days old, and after that comments need to be sent through e-mail.
