We might consider replacing "Computer Users" with "Computing Group". 

Thx, Albert

So when we post a question and don't receive an answer, it is not necessary for someone to say "not on this list."  However, if someone posted a question and I did not have an answer, but I did know of another list they might be more successful in finding an answer to their question, I'll post that info.  Hopefully it would not be taken as me saying they should not post said question here.

While I know the suggestions are made to point me to more helpful venues, the pattern also tells me this is primarily a list for Windows users. If this is the case, then iPhone messages belong mostly on iOS lists. If this is not the case, then it would be helpful to have some clarification about what topics are appropriate.
