We were all n00bs once, but many of you (I consider myself late to the 
game) were new at this back when the conferences had 100 attendees, and 
the list probably wasn't a whole lot larger than that.  Groupstudy.com, 
Experts Exchange, vBulletin, none of that existed.

Now, the list is 9,000 recipients, and a lot of other topical forums and 
tools exist.  Some folks (I'm one, you're apparently one) say it's OK to 
redirect folks elsewhere, others say it's not.  Can we 
settle/vote/discuss this for once?
