Hi, all!


I'd like to give my vote for Robert's proposal.  I'm not very sure
about the mail categories, but the idea is excellent. 

That way, the signal to noise in the mailing list would be much
higher.  For instance, people that read the newbie mailing list would
be sure they would find newbie questions: newbies would be free to
post newbie questions, anyone else would answer those questions only
if they really wanted to.  Cum bona fide, some would say.  

That way, probably people would team up to create the long awaited 
(more complete) FAQ.

I guess that subdivision interests Cygnus too, because there would be
more focused light on their product.
