No, I was trying to say that the Mac port is sufficiently different; I didn't propose a separate list for each Linux distribution.  For example, even though OS X uses OpenGL, MythTV on OS X does not (cannot?).  Seems to be a Mac-specific issue that Mac users can (are?) confused about and yet Linux users...aren't likely to care one way or the other.

I agree that there is much good information on the -users list.  Even with a -users-Mac list, I'd likely still scan the subject lines.  Linux users would benefit by having a few less posts to wade through.
