It's a pity that's not the case, as I sometimes have a question regarding firewalls, etc and take it to the firewall list, yet the number of questions regarding firewalls I have seen on 'debian-user' probably far out-number those on 'firewall'. This probably means that the answer to a searcher's question exists, but they have been looking where the answer isn't.
