1. The new mailing lists are not mentioned there, yet.
2. The link to Shachar Tal's mailing list is broken (the URL is:
   http://vipe.technion.ac.il/shlomif/cgi-bin/forward.cgi?t=linuxprog).
3. There is no mention of the notorious Marc's differential SCSI cable for
   flogging newbies who post to the wrong mailing list.
4. The notice about expecting newbies to go to the help page is written
   in regular font, rather than in "otiot kidush halavana".

Enough quibbling about the logical faults, which I was challenged to find.

This one was a kick below the belt.
The reason I usually don't come to meetings is that most of the people who
come to the meetings are too disabled to include me in informal
conversations.  And I prefer to read stuff at my own pace rather than
listen to frontal lectures by the method of mind-controlling a fast typer
to write down lecture notes and to bear my kicking at his ribs whenever I
feel he is missing some juicy stuff the lecturer has just released to the
lecture hall's air.

Some background information (not related to Linux) for the newbies who
didn't see me face to face:  http://www.zak.co.il/deaf-info/old/.
