I see at least two reasons:
1) There's only one open clojure list, with discussions from both
newbies who are trying to wrap their head around functional
programming and/or Java mixed in with discussions of features in the
snapshots. It's hard to resist all the new toys, even if you haven't
yet managed to get a release version running.
2) There are apparently some projects that require a 1.2 SNAPSHOT to
run that recommend new users start with those snapshots.
We can't do much about #2. But having a second mail list would help
with #1. Especially if we can set things up so that postings going to
both (from most people, anyway) get bounced with a message about "ask
on the newbie list first, if you don't get an answer after 48 hours,
try ...".
