A chance to do what? Learn? Most of the people on this list who share knowledge have joined much earlier. They know enough to search for information on Google first. Given that they learnt at a time when the TLDP was young, Internet connections were expensive, and Google just didn't have the volume of information it does today, I would say that they have made enough contributions back in terms of the sheer volume of documentation.
So, when do the newbies on the list start posting answers? It doesn't matter if you aren't really clear on the topic, try helping and reading documentation to help out. You will learn far more that way.

Great Devdas. I have been following your post since long time on Linux India, firewall wizard and innumerable other mailing lists. The amount of knowledge that I have gained is awe some.Linux and Open Source related mailing lists are alive and kicking only because of motivated and passionate people like you. I salute your dedication .I hope to meet you one day and share my bear. Perhaps you should consider writing for magazine like Linux For you or should I say if anybody from Linux For You is on list should contact you to enlighten community about what is Free/Open Source software is all about and motto of sharing knowledge.
Please get some time to visit Gujrart.
