I want to make it clear that he's talking about me. ;-)

I think the particular situations have to do with the fact that John 
doesn't want to have to learn basic Linux stuff, learn how to use 
Domtool, or both, to make effective use of an HCoop membership.  My 
position is that we don't have the resources yet to support members who 
aren't willing to do a little reading, and also that we clearly state on 
the front page of our main web site that some level of Linux/Internet 
expertise is assumed of members.  It's "assumed" and not "required," but 
folks shouldn't expect official tech support on questions that your 
standard Linux aficionado would be able to answer.  (hcoop-help is a 
fine place for such questions, though.)
