I also agree think we should stick with a single list. Though I still ask
more questions than I am able to completely answer, I do often at least
attempt an answer and sometimes can give fairly helpful responses. In
addition to the we-were-all-newbies-once argument I would like to point
out that

Sometimes I do and sometimes not.
I'm sure it is possible to parse the subject line at the list server or
the client end for keywords like "config" or "compile" etc. and forwa

"When is version 2 coming out" will not be announced in advance, I'm
afraid. At one point in time it
ok - was not a too good but apparently common idea to ask this question.

I used to participate in another high-traffic list. The Free
Catholic Mailing List gets over 200 messages per day.
They had a solution to the high traffic that worked very well (at
least for me). The list is echoed to a usenet newsgroup,
bit.listserv.catholic. The group is moderated by a r

Yes, I do to.
Although I would dearly love to see a:
"When is version 2 coming out"-list
"How to move from libc5 to libc6"-list
Both lists could be answered by a bot that posted the usual reply.
I do think that a lot of general Linux questions that ar

This is not so easy to do. Presumably, if you divide the list

I like the list the way it is aswell! :)
I have found many of the questions posted by other users helping me out,

Actually, I believe that if the lists separated, more advanced people
would not see the e-mail from poor newbies. I also believe that more
