I think a well moderated forum with people directing
threads based on what level of assistance is needed by

In my opinion the solution is very simple,
first analyse the problem, I believe it is newbies

They subscribe to mailing list and the first thing
they do is post a
whole lot of "How do I's"
If the mailing list sent the newbie a welcome note
that gave guidance to
the newbie we would not have half this problem.
I believe that if the welcome note included various
short guides, like
Netiquette and a guide to google and how to search
the archives,
A big bold "Have you tried the following before you
post your question?"
This is a simple thing and could be setup in an
hour. And could minimise
the amount of small stuff and already covered topics
mailed to the list.
