No doubt you've come to the conclusion that the U. forums have a 
poor signal/noise ratio, thanks to a lot of clueless posters! 
However some threads based on real experience can be useful (where 
you're looking for pointers to news-reading clients or photo 
organising software, to take an example I've found useful). The 
Mint/Automatix thread seemed to be full of people with little 
experience of either!
