(This is short).
Your mail is based on wrong assumptions.
1] No one stops newbies from subscribing to the techies' list.
2] Newbies ask all newbie questions on the newbies' list.
3] The so-called elitist .... nah! There, you are actually smelling like a politician, trying to create a divide! ;-) There's no such thing in anyone's mind. Just that all those who care and want to help need not do it all the time! How can I make sure that everyone follows the rules and uses proper tags in his/her subject line, thus letting procmail do the stuff for me? And, as I said, normally everyone in the techies' list will also subscrbe to the newbies' list.
Linux and the Open Source concept is about sharing and helping. How can you even get terms like elitist etc. into the picture!?
cheers!
