Just my 2 cents, but I've always felt IRC was the best place to reach other sys-admins for advice. I can't recall ever posting to the mailing list about a system administration issue. I know there are so many active sys-admins on the IRC that I think the response is likely to be quicker there.
I'm also more apt to answer a question I see in IRC. I'm not sure I'm even subscribed to anything other than Dev and General. Michael Peters Senior Systems Analyst Emerald Data Networks, Inc.

A dedicated list for Evergreen sysadmins could work in principle, but of course requires that folks actually answer questions posted to it. Since the list was created, there's been long periods where it has been mostly ignored, either passively or actively, and I think it long ago reached the point where reluctance to use it has self-fulfilled a prophecy that it would not be used.
