Quoting myself from
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2006-April/102982.html

Suppose a squeak-help list exists and any posts to it
were copied to squeak-dev with [help] prefixed to the subject,
and any replies from squeak-dev to [help] subjects were copied to
squeak-help. The dev list sees the help traffic, can provide assistance,
and gain "non-expert" perspective on the state of Squeak.
The help seekers are spared the "intimidating" traffic.
The [help] tags provide a filter handle for those that want one.
Possible? Desirable? ...
