I don't recall anyone speaking of abusing newcomers. Suggesting they
subscribe to linux-newbies or an appropriate alternate group to gain
information doesn't seem like it would come across as abuse.
While I and other could tune out the non-relavent content, that means I
likely tune out relavent content at the same time, either by simply deleting
all the linux-hams mail after seeing none of it of interest, or by
unsubscribing altogether.
