The big problem with a -newbie list is this: who's going to answer the 
questions? Its kinda like the blind leading the blind. I think Isaac is on 
the money: people need to read before posting. I don't suggest reading all 
your Myth email before posting (because there's a lot), but everyone, please 
search the mailing list archive before posting! That should head off things 
like 100 different Qt-highlighted-button threads.
