Kristen and all,

You make some strong points again.  Your last question is very good,
and is part of a larger issue.  I feel the need to express that there
is no "my-kind".  We are in this all together, regardless of skill
level or knowledge of computers.  We are building more than a
non-profit or a recycling centre, we are attempting to build a
community.

One of the main goals of Free Geek is to bridge the digital divide.
To achieve this we need to realise that this is not done by a few
"skilled" individuals giving their knowledge to the great masses, but
a sharing of information, and skills.  A bridge is not built from one
side.

To answer your question, yes we want you around(heck, you are already
contributing!), and anyone around, not "my-kind", because that is an
illusion setup by those who seek to separate us.
