Firstly, apologies for not transferring your response (above) to the 
bottom of this message as I am an adherer to the principle of not 
top-posting any responses and in this case I don't wish to be "rattling 
the cage".

To go on, the description of this mail list is:

"Answers

"What is this list for?

"ubuntu-users is a mailing list staffed by volunteer community members 
to provide technical support to Ubuntu Users.

"Users of Ubuntu and officially supported derivatives (Kubuntu, 
Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu) can get support here. Users of derivatives 
(such as Backtrack and Linux Mint) are not officially supported.

"What is this list NOT for?

"Anything that is not specifically a request for or response to 
technical support.

"Please remember that due to the size and nature of the ubuntu-users 
mailing list it's not possible to maintain the off topic banter and 
expect to keep the helpful volunteers subscribed that benefit all.

"Simply linking semi-relevant web links and expecting discussion to 
evolve is not considered on topic for this list. There are many places 
online you can share interesting stories but please bear in mind the 
reason for why this list exists.

"Anyone repeatedly instigating off topic conversation is likely to be 
individually moderated by the team to ensure further input is on topic 
and constructive.

"Please don't send "testing" emails to the list. If you think you have a 
problem sending or receiving emails relating to this list please see 
Where can I go with further questions or concerns?"

This comes from:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuUsersListFAQ

Because I am a just a bit confused about what you wrote above, can you 
please, and I ask this with the greatest of respects to your position as 
Moderator, how the posts in this thread do not conform to the definition 
of the word "technical support" which this mail list offers?

What I am terrified of at the moment is that my post will not see the 
say of light on this list because of what you wrote: "FROM A MODERATOR: 
don't post to this thread". (And not even a "Please" to be seen.) 
Because of this I am sending this post to couple of people who habitat 
this list so that they know about my concern re why you wrote what you did.
