I'm uncomfortable with the elitist label 'newuser'.  Where would you post *your* questions?  Do you even have questions anymore, have you stopped learning, George? <grin>  

"support" is a bridge.  
"support" sounds -inclusive-... not -us&them-.  
"support" is a welcome place where you get answers not RTFM.  

My List of Lists
admin 		- not public - administrative list
announce 	- read only - user group news and public announcements
support 	- public - discussion/help list
talk 		- public - current list, very open

if needed:jobs - public - optimistic, thanks george


I'm NOT volunteering for moderator on any of these (today) so they may stay open for a while until a group of people step up.

Provided this gets wildly popular, like we all hope, the support structure can be expanded to support.hardware, support.installation, support.desktop, support.grid, etc.. The same goes for the admin list.  The small group of people re-working the web site may want a private list composed of non-admin people: admin.website.  Or another group may be plotting: admin.ShutMichealUp

You get the idea,
Michael
