    Absolutely. This way I would not have the burden to answer directly to
    naive questions, that can be sent to the news group.

    IMHO, you're absolutely right.

    Yes, but I would like a slightly more general mailing list, opened to
    suggestions (libraries and language design improvements). The rest
    (including comparison between Caml and whatever) being freeely posted
    to the unmoderated newsgroup.
