You are correct and I agree. But the newbies who ask questions get RTFM type of replies which makes one frustrate. However, I would manage but still that request was _if_ it could be possible.
When a mailing list is meant for everybody, the result is various kind of posting style (except rude or otherwise unacceptable stuff). If some kind of posting style is not meaningful for someone, he or she could either ignore it or ask for a more meaningful response - but there is no right to demand a particular kind of response. For example I ignore postings which are not meaningful for me. And others do not have the right to demand an answer from me. I think special mailing lists for newbies won't help them as much as now where all kind of users use the same mailing list for generic questions and User to User support so that even newbies can get replies from experienced users - regardless whether or not every reply can be understood by a newbie. I think a separated list for things like "newbie to newbie support" would be basically useless.
