Each new user finds their own sharp edges to bump into I guess, the
wiki and documentation, as well as this mailing list, serve the
purpose of adding a bit of padding so it's a bit more comfortable from
time to time, but no one is perfect, and people don't like to repeat
themselves once it's been written.

I know I appreciate all the help I've gotten with various issues here
over the years.  Sometimes I could have done more to self-educate,
other times I'm just confused, and sometimes I've felt as frustrated
as Devon with the whole thing.

But for some silly reason I keep coming back to Plan 9, and keep
re-loading it on *something*.   Even when I only have time to boot
that machine maybe 1 time a week to play around with it, it's still
interesting :-)
