Absolute nonsense.  It /is/ a technical question:

cybe at wizardstower:~$ dict technical
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

  technical
      adj 1: of or relating to technique or proficiency in a practical
             skill; "his technical innovation was his brushwork"; "the
             technical dazzle of her dancing" [syn: {technical},
             {proficient}]

(read that "practical skill" as posting correctly according
to /UBUNTU's/ 'guidelines')

<snip>
          4: of or relating to or requiring special knowledge to be
             understood; "technical terminology"; "a technical report";
             "technical language" [syn: {technical}, {expert}]

Please don't let being a moderator lead you to blindness.

...and how about my actual points raised?  Do you not have  any
recourse except to silence them, too?  I believe Ubuntu users have a
right to be informed, don't you?  Or is user information to come only
from 'official' sources?
