tech, non-tech etc make sense ... just like LIG, LIH and LIP. But newbie and expert ... how do you differentiate between that! I guess I could call myself an expert, but when I try something for the first time, like squid do I post to the newbie list? And will there be guidelines for kicking people off the experts list? And will experts ever bother to read mails on the newbie list? How will the newbies get the hang of things in that case?
Don't take the names too seriously. tec�, non-tech, lig, lip, lig .. all are fine!
Even on LIG, LIP we do come across people who post to the wrong list or who dont put [COMMERCIAL] tag. do you really think just by having seperate lists newbies are going to have proper subject line or similar issues raised originally. Having seperate lists is not going to stop people from doing stupid things like asking for a job or looking for a friend. Somehow we need to make new joinees read list guidelines/FAQs and follow them.
just my 2p.
