Hmm. Does Canonical get coin from stackexchange? It seems Canonical is 
undercutting Ubuntu's community support venues by sanctioning a non-
Ubuntu controlled site. Though now that I know that Askubuntu.com is 
sanctioned by Canonical, it becomes a little clearer to me why key Ubuntu 
Members (and Canonical employees) help with user support questions there 
instead of on an official Ubuntu mailing list like, say, ubuntu-users.
