LOL!

Well, I'm a little more sanguine about it. AVR Freaks, I feel, has it's 
place. There's a number of good people there. It's a good place if you 
have fast question. I've noticed that a number of times questions don't 
get answered on avr-gcc-list, or at least it seems cyclical. There are 
times that avr-gcc-list is very quiet and then, like recently, a huge 
surge in traffic. AVR Freaks is a good place for newbies; they learn the 
ropes. I agree the name is almost embarassing, but I didn't choose it. 
One other nice thing, is that, *finally*, there are people from Atmel 
who are answering some questions on AVR Freaks, especially in regards to 
their AVR Studio software. I think it's getting monitored more by Atmel.
