part of the reason while this list is sometimes tedious to follow is the 
cross-platform nature of vnc. i read the samba lists as well, same 
problem there. there is some truth in "different os, different culture". 
apart from just not understanding each other properly due to subtle 
jargon differences and/or familiarity with technical terms, the amount 
of do-it-yourself attitude is certainly different for each of the os's 
that vnc supports...

all the more kudos to wez and the other patrons of this list to chime in 
with help and to support a great product. may the great sysadmin in the 
sky forever let you maintain the system of your choice with your 
favourite tools! :-D
