If we have to do anything about this then I think it is time we
seriously consider a separate "squeak users" mailing list.  I would
rather that users have to consider going from 'developer' to 'user'
rather than from 'user' to 'developer'; by which I mean that I would
prefer that we change the definition of squeak-dev and make another list
the 'user' list, rather than create a new developer list.  Perhaps we
should consider renaming the beginners list 'squeak-users' or the like.
This would have the added benefit of bringing more eyes to bear on
beginners requests.
