When I've been in similar situation on other lists, I've tried an approach along the lines of: I think the answer to your question may be X, but the appropriate list for that kind of discussion is _______. You'll have more luck if you follow up there. That points the person in the right direction, but is less abrupt and makes them feel like they are getting some help and not just a push off to somewhere else. It's a middle ground that I've seen work well both to keep lists on topic and to make people feel welcome.
