I understand your concern but don't think creating a new list is a good
idea. The problem is that most users will get more advanced as time goes
by, your newly created list will be as techie as TBUDL is. It might be
possible to tell the more advanced users to move to TBUDL, but I think
that would demand pretty heavy moderation which will put the nice and
welcoming attitude at risk.

Besides, this will divide the user base of TB! into two different lists,
I think many readers won't bother reading both lists. That will result
in the common knowledge of TBUDL being divided by two, if you understand
what I mean. And, furthermore, the new users won't have access to the
heavy expertise present here.
