Great idea!
I think I came up with the (homepage) idea sometime after Larry mentioned that
new people are being put off by the massiveness of the newsgroups (maybe it
wasn't Larry, I can't remember). So maybe they get freaked out right off the
bat... I dunno. But otherwise, a .newbies group would be great... I think some
veterans get annoyed when the same questions are asked over and over again,
but others don't mind answering them over and over again (like me, I
guess... :-)

I agree, I'd prolly end up hanging there too ;-)
