This list should be open to ALL questions, newbie and non-newbie. If we
start filtering, or slamming, then folks will be hesitant to ask questions.
We should encourage the learning process, not discourage. And where better
to learn than from this list?

Oh really?
Which part? <satire 1> or <satire 2>? When I was learning ASP, Charles
Carroll
runs a message list similar to this one but categorized by certain groups.
ASPFreeForAll - Post anything here...
ASPNotNewbie - People who ask newbie questions on this list get *slammed*
as they
should.
I'd like to see something similar here. Any other thoughts???
