Agreed...  biz is just a special class of users, but what would go in 
nontech...  newbies wouldn't get much traffic since nobody wants to really 
admit they're a newb and moreso they'd get frustrated that the people who 
really do know wouldn't hang out there.

Although I do like -biz on a separate list because you can also see who's 
offering what, and get help on how to set it up and interop -- think of all 
the vonage, nuphone, p8, ich and other "how do I do this" traffic we've 
seen on -users lately...

Ugh.  I hate trying to figure things like this out.  :-) 

Regards,
Andrew
