Actually, the first place I went to was justlinux.  Rest in peace
mdwatts.  It was a while later that I found LQ.

I don't see how doing double the work will benefit anyone.  Its a lot
easier to have one forum than it is to have two forums.  I just think
the Gentoo folks would be better to concentrate on what we have than to
be spreading more work around for the same people.  Its not like they
don't have enough work already.
