Yes I enjoy these lists, esp. geeks (where a geek can be a geek).

As far as usefullness, dude, it saved my job. I had limited Solaris knowlege
when I started my job, and the lists/resources allowed me to learn fast what
I needed to know. I'm not an admin, but I have to admin Sunboxen every 6
weeks for an oncall rotation (and we have Sun DNS/etc. boxes that are in my
job description).

Ahh... thats your call. You could also limit your hassle exposure by doing
things like not entertaining fools (you're too nice sometimes).
