    A great start!  I just went through and looked at the last 196 
    articles and did a quick binning of them.  I found SEVEN (7) as 
    clearly falling into the TECHNICAL catagory, and SEVENTEEN (17)
    as questionable and the remainder clearly non technical.

    Amoung the questionable ones were topics concerning:

    - Bug reports or perceieved bug reports
    - How do I change the default finder shutdown option
    - Like to have....
    - Is there a way to ...
    - How does one hook A to B..
    - Compatibility probs with new O.S. or Hardware.


If the bulk of these fall into the non-tech catagory, then maybe we need 
to revisit what it is we are trying to accomplish. Lets keep adding to the 
above list. I think it would be helpful to really understand what it is 
that is being proposed.

I would have gone back further (this data went back to monday the 6th) but 
the articles were not available on the server I use.

Hope this helps...Chris
