Is there any way that the list in question can be broken up into two lists? For example, ASP has two (actually, alot more) lists called ASPFreeForAll, and ASPAdvanced which cater to the various knowledge levels of each list's participants. The ASPAdvanced list is moderated by the person who created the list AND several individuals who have been in the business for quite awhile. If you flame anyone on the list, spam, or ask too many *easy* questions without researching, or (put URGENT in the subject because if it's that URGENT, you should find a consultant), then you'll be temporarily banned from the list. This is an outstanding resource, there are archives, and I'd hate to see this list get filled up with newbie material that appears frequently.
