I couldn't agree more and i'm, it appears, one to blame for posting on 
the wrong list.

I came to the list through gmane's nntp gateway. I did not find any 
webpage associated to the list and the list's description did not give so 
much information. Furthermore my post received a number of very helpful 
answers, with not a single post informing me i was on the wrong list.

Better guidelines would be great, but letting new posters immediately 
know they've mis-understood the list's intention will help as well.

Sorry, for what it's worth, for posting on the list.
