Looks very good.
5. As questions tend to be referred to debian-user and due to the
dilemma of "appropriate mailing list to post", people tend to ask
the same question on multiple mailing lists. ...
This sentence is a bit obtuse and needs to be rewritten in my
estimation. Perhaps something like:
*/As questions tend to be referred to debian-user, and due to the
dilemma of not knowing to which list one should post, people tend to
ask the same question on multiple mailing lists./* This will defeat
the whole purpose of creating a separate list for newcomers and
increases the net traffic many times. Moreover all the replies might
not be CCed to all the mailing lists. As a result, people experiencing
the same problem at a later time and reading the archives will have to
go through similar looking posts on different mailing lists to find
the correct answer.
or:
*/Since people may not know which list would be appropriate for their
issue, they wind up cross-posting to both lists. Also, since some
issues may be referred from one list to the other, this also causes
cross-posting of the issue. /*This will defeat the whole purpose of
creating a separate list for newcomers and increases the net traffic
many times. Moreover all the replies might not be CCed to all the
mailing lists. As a result, people experiencing the same problem at a

looking posts on different mailing lists to find the correct answer.
