Hooray! You can count me in the group that are against this idea. The "advanced user" list idea is as bad an idea now as it was the last dozen times it's been suggested. The only virtue I can see in it would be that there wouldn't be any more messages from the advanced users complaining about how full their mail boxes are. > Perhaps a better solution to reduce the traffic of clueless mail on the > mailing list is to very aggressively pursue writing more documentation for > Circle, so that the questions we frequently see asked here will be > answerable on the Web or in the circle distribution itself.

I haven't installed anything past bpl8 so I don't know if anything's been added, but I can tell you from the perspective of a newbie that the coding.doc that came with bpl8 is so incomplete as to be almost worthless. -Will
