Just a note on Ubuntu and the Forums thereof:
  The forums and the Mailinglist are very different creatures indeed,  
and are populated by different segments of the Ubuntu user/ 
developerbase.
  The forums are mostly user-on-user discussions, which are barely  
touched by the developers.
  So, if you're looking for explanations or to file bugs in Ubuntu,  
the forums are hardly the place for it.
