I never had much success in convincing "closed laszlo" to send their OL questions to the open lists. They really need to _always_ be encouraged to do so. If they don't, they are missing most of the OL developers!
The "inside" OL developers can assist in this effort by: 1) When you get a question that is _not_ on the OL list, reply asking the questioner to post to the OL list, or 2) At the very least, cc your reply to the OL list. It's only a small effort, but it is crucial to both keeping the OL project alive _and_ getting the best answer to OL questions!
