The problem with OpenWRT is that most of the people in the online
support channel are too impressed with their own '133+|\|355 to actually
give much in the way of useful help.  It's much more gratifying to
snicker at people asking questions and call them n00bs.

This would probably be less of an issue if the OpenWRT documentation was
more useful.
