This is really true.  The X newsgroup is one of the few newsgroups where
almost every easy or even silly question gets a decent response.

I have posted many questions, both difficult and simplistic, and I have gotten
answers to all of them, some from the X people and some from others.  I
have nothing but praise for the people in this group.
