I find the list is more interesting when people just install the Fedora 
version and inquire about how to make the system work a lot better that 
they can without advice from other users.

I'm currently testing out the beta for FC3 but still monitor this list. 
I offer advice for problems that I think might help someone resolve the 
issue(s) that they are experiencing. Hopefully, my feedback is somewhat 
helpful. I hope my feedback is not adding to the google search for wrong 
answers.

Fedora should be fun to setup and explore. I have found that recent 
subjects were of little interest to me, they might interest others. 
Hopefully the list will become more interesting and helpful as things 
progress.

Enjoy, and remember that this list is setup for users of Fedora 
Releases. I don't think this entails a list full of read the archives, 
google search or your Linux version is not elegible for list discussions.

I really don't see a GURUship here, but list posting hides the gestures, 
tones of voices and other elements that face to face contact allows. 
Misreading ones intentions is easily done.

My view anyway,

Jim
