I too think this is by far the best solution. Most support questions posted in django-dev are posted by new comers. Once they've been told they posted in the wrong list, they don't post there again (I mean, they don't post *support questions* there again). Also, I think that most new comers first access either django-users or django-dev via the web interface. I don't have any proof of that, but that's what seems most probable. So, add that note on the django-dev and django-users group web interface. It doesn't cost anything and I bet it will prevent 90% (if not all) of the problematic emails. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
