The dri-users list was founded on the idea that there might be a class of 'power users' out there who would altruistically help newbies get their setup working so that 'real developers' could concentrate on loftier ideas. That class of power users haven't really emerged, if anything it is the power users who are crying for help in the blackness of dri-users, as everyone else just sucks whatever comes with their distro. Again - I think the people on dri-users would be better off just posting to dri-devel. As it looks like we've got to monitor both lists, why bother having a second list? I know I give less attention to posts with [dri-users] than [dri-devel] -- perhaps I think that people posting there will never do any development, so I won't be "repayed" by spending my time on them. Shut it down, let them post on dri-devel.
