General Vs. Newbie Lists - Correct Protocol

[mascarasnake]

Hey, John-

There was an issue with archiving on the newbie list some few months 
ago, where a lot of ML members suggested just to post here. Not so much 
an issue now, but...

I know that a lot of members monitor both, Post your query and someone 
will answer, if they have an answer.

you'll get ridiculed for a ridiculous question, no matter which ML you 
post to. Never let that deter you. We can all be real A**wipes at times, 
but we can also be your friends.
