I made a similar comment as a PS to one of my earlier responses.

Indeed, I think that the time has come to *close* *down* Ubuntu-Users 
and open-up a new list on googly-dookly called *The* *Chook* *Shed*.

That is my $AU2 cents worth (which is saying something as the $US1 is 
less valuable than the $AU1 - meaning that I am now out-of-pocket big 
tiime :-( ).
