Yeah, what he said :-)

tlug-advocacy wasn't a novice list, exactly.  I like to think of it
as a toxic waste dump we used to clean up the S/N ratio on the main
list :-)

A novice list sounds OK in theory, but what we'd find, possibly,
is that only novices would subscribe to it?  In which case it becomes
a question of "Why not just post to the main list, like now?"  I'd hate
to see tlug-advocacy come shuffling back like a zombie, dropping smelly,
rotting chunks of itself all over the place :-)
