Premature categorization has it's good and bad sides, nevertheless, this _could_ still be emulated on a mail list, we even had an experiment here, recently. Another possibility would be to simply split mail lists (e.g. rebol-core-list, rebol-view-list). > Another great thing about having a forum is that you can make common > questions sticky so vets aren't answereing the same newb questions > time and time again. Yep, that's what FAQ's are about ;) No problem to achieve that with mail lists ;) One could for example prominently link the FAQ at the place you put your subscription information, or post the FAQ once per month. -- Best regards, Andreas -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
