.From my point of view, this is not such a good idea. For many mailing
lists the address <name>-help@ is used to automatically send a short
help with instructions on how to use the mailing list software and/or a
short FAQ to a user. For instance, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is such an
address. Thus, IMO there should be no actual list with that name, that's
again misleading (at least for people having some experiences with
mailing lists).

Two additional comments on some related subjects: a) I can understand
Randall's arguments and I think he's technically correct. I won't
comment on the tone of the whole discussion. b) I don't think that
renaming etc. or removing this list will solve all problems. There
should be a list where users can ask all general questions about
openSUSE, whether these questions are about the project or whatever.
Most people with general questions do not subscribe to all the different
mailing lists. This is a fact. In Principle, I can't see a problem with
some technical questions here; the useless discussions, flames, and all
the unnecessary blabla are much more annoying than technical questions.

Cheers,
Th.
