I generally just read this group, but this grated my bones.

It is interesting that paul was never new to anything.  If he was ever a 
beginner he would know that beginners soon become experienced and start
to support other beginners and experienced users.  Since we don't all have
the same experience we use this media to share our individual expertis.
If we don't need this sharing we don't need any newsgroup or mail.  

Keep it as is or make a news group, I don't care. But don't cut off the 
future experts.
