I agree with you. Perhaps a name change is in order.
Many who write this list in error may have a different
interpretation of 'hams'. Maybe we should be called
linux-AmateurRadio.
Sending them to the 'newbie" may have a negative
connotation. It could be changed to some less
demeaning term like linus-experts.
Its not that we are too knowledageable to be bothered
with their questions. We just have a narrow focus. I
call myself an Amateur Radio Operator because, believe
it or not many people just don't get 'ham'.
