If you use any of the other stack exchange sites (stackoverflow for programming, superuser for general computing questions, serverfault for system administration, etc), and use ubuntu, you'll appreciate the "cross-section" of arguments, where ubuntu-specific questions can be asked without agonizing on whether one is really programming, system administration, or "general";-).
If you don't already use stack exchange sites, why not?!-) Get with the program...!-)
Anyway, you can sign up for the ubuntu site whether you're a seasoned stack exchange user, or a raw newbie -- and, if you are interested in ubuntu, it's well worth doing do, IMHO.
