For what it's worth, I agree strongly with the suggestion of list
into :

but I think splitting it into:

>tomcat-newbie@ . . .

would be unhelpful as very few would use the newbie group - the
majority would look for power users on the tomcat-user@ group.

Just my 2p.

I am seconding this motion. I remember a thread a while back that
mentioned
splitting this mailing-list into
tomcat-user@ . . .  and
tomcat-newbie@ . . .
And I remember that this idea had some support. Even a split as
simple as
this
would help the frequent filling of my tomcat inbox.

This is definitely the most active mailing list to which I subscribe.
(the
Struts project
comes close from time to time but not nearly as constant).

Perhaps the tomcat-user list could be split into smaller, more
specialized
lists and
a news group web site could aggregate the threads ?
