I want to walk this one back a bit as there's no need to destroy the community that exists here already by forcing it to move elsewhere. What I meant to say is that I think it'd be best if debian-user continue to exist as it is while having its support element covered by some other thing, and that be consistently documented throughout Debian's documentation and websites wherever debian-user currently is pointed to. As mentioned, ideally I would see that support function served by a Stack Overflow-like web site as I think those are easier to keep focused for question-answer purposes. However if a mailing list absolutely had to be used then it should be understood that posts not related to Debian would not be welcome, and for that to be enforced. Thanks, Andy
