How do you propose to sort questions to different mailing lists, it is not
as easy, for example, I may have a question about LAMP deployment, I have
probably done all standard configs, but certain things on my network don't
work. Do I send the message to a LAMP only list or a networking list, if I
am not sure where the problem lies?, there will be many questions like
this specially from newbies, so it is better to have single list with
suggestive subjects, let members classify things on their own. Less
headache for administrators also.

I would really like to see how many read through that long list of
guidelines, my guess is less than 20% of new members are reading the
guidelines.

I am not too happy to delete 20 out of 25 mails that I pay to download.
Clue levels must increase to some decent standard.

Perhaps.
