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.
