I know what you mean. Just this week I turned off a couple of other general Linux lists I was subscribed to simply because I was dealing with too much mail. > debian-user: user discussion > debian-install: installation problems > debian-novice: newbies are intimidated by other lists, so here's > one of their own. Other than my worry that debian-novice would turn into a wasteland which experienced users avoided, that seems reasonable. But you might give some thought to killing or renaming debian-user. What if you create the other two lists and no one uses them and everyone just stays on debian-user? Perhaps a more topic oriented approach (he says mindlessly throwing out ideas) might be better, e.g. debian-mail, debian-news, debian-networking, debian-install, debian-x, and debian-novice?
