Please leave questions@ as it is. It is good enough, IMHO, and one of the better communities out there in terms of technical knowledge and friendliness w.r.t. all sorts of questions. Oh, and as to many users not posting in a more focused manner to -stable@, -current@, -hackers@ etc..., the reason is quite simple: many issues are common to all branches, and there isn't a -common@ mailing list to address them. So questions@ is a pretty good catch-all for those general questions, and not just for newbies. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
