Well, that's the problem. We have been separating traffic between two lists based on the topic of the discussions, to reduce noise for subscribers. This may be convenient for you to tap into "experienced people" but it just creates noise for everyone else. It also discourages "experienced people" from watching the general list. > And additionally, I saw may threads having subjects like 'How to...'. Unfortunately I can't go and police every off-topic thread. Ideally, "experienced people" would ignore such threads as off-topic, but some people are just helpful. It creates precedents, which are then used to justify further call-for-help postings. Those lists are pretty active and keeping them usable is critical to the success of OpenStack. Respecting the topic for each list is the base trick we use to keep the signal/noise ratio high. The next best thing is to label the subject correctly.
