Some of us have jobs At work some of us don't get to choose our desktop OS Of that number perhaps we have debian servers at work, or perhaps we have home machines with issues (or both). As things stand on this list, a request for help is more likely get a snotty message about the mailer used than a helpful reply. I may be willing to cop that kind of guff because I really believe in Debian, Others won't.
