I'm wondering why so many think they must get always something from 
others who are here.

I'm one, as with many, who is not educated on the workings of Ubuntu, 
and I need assistance at times.  Of course, since I don't know much, I 
would not want to offer information since it could be misleading, and 
then some would be tempted to stir up a sink over that.

I would think that we'd be a more pleasant group if we speak only if we 
know about the subject at hand, and not complain when one is in error.  
We're human and we all make mistakes at times.
