Guess its not an attitude as much as having been around this list for 
over two years, and listening to the same old topic coming up every six 
months without looking back at the previous discussions on the topic.

You might try Kevin at digium.

The age-old argument/discussion relative to the -user list is that if 
you split it into pieces (eg, newbies plus other lists), no one will 
hang around the newbie list to answer questions, and the newbies will 
migrate to other lists. (Just about like newbies posting to the -dev 
list when they don't get a quick answer on the -user list, or, the @home 
folks posting to the -user list when few of the -user list members 
actually use @home.)

FWIW, I'd vote to keep it the way it is now and I'll just make use of 
the delete key to handle uninteresting noise.
