If we have to ask that question, then there is something wrong. It was the 
fact that the
list did exist and there were people that also wanted to try linux. That 
was in the days
of low acceptance (7%) of the OS. Now we have a plethora of lists and less 
desktop
user who want to change, we also have a great many more distros available. 
Even the
old mags have taken up linux articles, something not heard of some years ago.
Anyone for Boardwalk Magazine? Remember the REAL FUD users we used to get 
on the
list, not anymore.
