well, i kinda agree.  these days (after Dr. Dobb's article?) -talk has
about 100/day posts, which is much larger number compare to all three
japanese lists combined.

I don't like the idea of beginners list (who's gonna answer questions
if all of them are beginners ;), but having developper's list (for
people who want to discuss about interpreter, some new features or
some topic beginners don't wanna care) wouldn't kill -talk, would it?

well, still minority but we now have two votes ;)
