Hello
I agree partially on this.. The problem for a Qube owner is that you are being overwhelmed with RAQ problems articles.. I myself being a real novice on Linux/Qube would appreciate a Qube list where maybe people wouldn't be afraid of asking/answering questions.. And as I was writing (in private) to Jeff Lasman, I am also afraid that we will be cutting ourselves from the people who know something ...(even if they don't answer all the time ...) 
As for your question, do you care about the answer of a Qube2 owner ? (BTW I myself asked a few questions that stayed unsanswered.. I'll try again later !!)
