	i concur with greg on this one.
	what would a newbies list offer that questions does not?

	a newbies list would be somewhere "safe" to ask simple
	questions.....well that's part of questions.  besides 
	questions offers some more advanced material as well.

	how long before newbie with a little knowlege abandon  the
	newbies list in favor of the other lists?  a list of only 
	newbies would not be very useful.

	i dont understand the purpose or attraction of such a list. ;(
