I think the key idea is to help newbies along as much as possible so they don't have to revert to the list to obtain answers to their questions. This will reduce list bandwidth, possibly significantly.
I see that we already have a four line digium footer on each and every message. With judicious re-arrangement, so as not to expand the footer significantly, we put in a pointer to an FAQ, which in turn points to valuable documentation resources such as voip-info and xvoip, plus answers (or links) to common questions such as the moh issue, echo, ... We will then reap a bonus. We reduce the recurring traffic, then we can free up bandwidth for the now being bandied about 'business' list, which in itself, should be content heavy. I'd actually prefer to keep it here, since I obtain all my primary info here anyway, and managing another list is really my idea of a good time. If we start to see 25% or 50% coverage on 'business' related stuff, then would be a good time to slice it off on to its own self-sustaining forum.
