How ironic that it may have come from Marks FAQ... So can we adopt
a vague spec write a one page html about the list for the website... that oughta
solve the argument once and for all...

Definitely another item begging for a web page with list information.

I dunno... Make a webpage dedicated to 'learn delphi' introducing the various lists...
I at least would be quite happy to subscribe to both and it encourages questions
from those that lurk for a day and see highly technical questions and are scared off...
