This group has been taken over by Roy Schestoqitz the SPAMMER...
Here is an example of what happens when people DO seek assistance here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/msg/17d6f9a7d28d81a1?hl=en&;
"This newsgroup has way too much traffic. My post is already buried
under a mountain of other posts, and I think it's been less than 24
hours. I don't plan to keep up."
And yes this is not technically a help group, but it does have high
traffic and is generally the first group listed when searching for Linux
groups which is why people tend to stumble in here.
