I don't think that knowing what all the utilities are or how to use them should be a prerequisite to being a member of this list. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I am under the impression that this mailing list at least partially serves to share knowledge and help with other debian users. So, you are defeating the purpose of the list by telling people to leave for not knowing that 'talk' is a program. You'd make good use of the list if you offered some helpful insight. Remember that mailing lists are usually archived and indexed, so chances are you'd be helping more than just the current members of the list.
