Uh, that hurts :-(

I join another distribution mailing lists and is not so uncommon to see
questions coming from another OS (linux based).

We are all in the same boat.

I acknowledge every list has it own rules but true is that some questions
are so wide that are also valid for any kind of linux flavour and every
list user will get benefit from the responses.

And Ubuntu and Debian are almost "cousins". Well, I think you already
know my personal point of view about this.

Because I sincerely think that things like i.e., "how to read kernel
messages or log files" are issues that also fit fine here, regardless the
linux distribution being in play.

I agree with Camaleón. This list is for:

"Support for Debian users who speak English."

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/

I think that the things she mentions certainly qualify, even if they
are not Debian specific.
