I completely agree. That is why I was suggesting that a new list be created for the dot net beginner. I see a lot of traffic from folks coming over from VB that are just learning the ropes. At least 50% of the traffic on this list should be posted to the Advanced list and this list should be focused on the folks asking how to databind controls and how to set focus to a control.
By doing it this way, people such as yourself could basically ignore the beginner list (unless you wanted to be a mentor to the new developers) and focus on the advanced list.
