At the risk of belaboring the discussion...

I think these will get a lot of duplicate traffic.  Some people don't know 
whether they have a new-user question or an advanced question.  Others simply
want "advice from the experts" and so will go for the first.  It's also still
useful to have a separate group for announcements.

P.S.  Remember comp.unix.wizards?  I don't know if it's still around.  One of
      the problems in that group was that many of the questions posted could
      have been adequately addressed in C groups or comp.unix.questions.  But
      everyone wants the best advice possible or thinks their question is
      very sophisticated so they post to the wizards group.  I think the same
      thing would happen here.
