OK, once again that's supposed to be -newbies, but you knew that ...

Personally, I like that better than mine. I think that pretty much says 
everything. Maybe "technical support issues," although that might be 
redundant. One nitpicky thing - although punctuation rules say it's 
technically correct to use a comma before the last item in a series, 
that is archaic usage, and the most commonly accepted modern rule is to 
leave it off. So, it would be better as: "... problem solving, sharing 
ideas and moral support." It's not that big of a deal, but it's better 
to use accepted punctuation rules, and, besides, if it ends up the 
other way it's going to drive me crazy. Sorry, but I was raised by a 
mom who's an English teacher ...
