The crucial underlying point is that many newbies are using the newbie list
and in asking there, the answer will be made there, which means that many more
newbies will benefit. I like thinking in global manners. I've subscribed to
both lists and if a newbie question is more than basic, then I suggest they
post to the expert list and therefore to subscribe to both.
The question was newbie, but t'was not a crime committed. I'll refrain from
proving the newbie part of the point and retract my harsh attitude.
