I have a dream , in which users will be able to choose hardware based on their personal tastes and not in their Operating System.

I have a dream , in which i will give to my friends/family technical support in Gnu/Linux machines instead of the Windows-ones.

I have a dream , in which i will not be automatically ranked as a "geek/nerd" just because i use a unix-like OS.

I have a dream , in which the sons of the sons of Stallman , Trovalds , Theo de Raad , Gates , etc... will join hands in the hills of open standards and live together in harmony and peace and without BSODS or Flamebaits (ok , with some flamebaits , Linus is to good at putting a smile at people faces:D )

100,000 Users and almost 1 Million Posts!

But that means that the average member posts 10 times or less, given those that have posted much more than ten times, there's a lot of members that come on, ask a question or two then leave, never to be seen again.:(

Hopefully, we will have answered their question, and helped them out. If they had a good experience, there is no doubt they will return.

Speaking personally, I've only ever had to ask about 3 questions since I've been a member of this forum (1 year now), cos for everything else I've always been able to search the forum and find a solution. :-D

This makes me Very Happy! :D

And I've been hanging around ever since, chipping in occasionally (when I think I've got something to contribute) but with no thoughts of leaving. 'Specially now, what with Dapper only weeks away...... \\:D/

So don't get hung up about the Quantity of posts per user, take pride in the Quality of the information on this site instead! :cool:

I'm pretty much the same way. I've just recently started posting although I've been a member for over a year. I haven't HAD to post questions because I was always able to find answers by searching :)

No, they come and try to search something, but can't. So they register, search and leave again.

I had no idea Gentoo and OpenSuSE posters were so productive.
