I brought this up in the first place to find out if there were people who
felt the same as I do. They haven't exactly been coming out of the
woodwook. I don't think that there are a significant number of
people who are unhappy with the list/usenet situation just as it is. I
don't think you guys should change things yet.

However, there should be some means for beginners to ask their stupid
questions without having to get all this email or post on usenet. Maybe a
web-based message board where people can post questions and answers would
be a good alternative.

Thanks,
John
