But it's not that simple is it.

Pick a subject (say a Linux service) like NFS. If you want to know about 
that jion the NFS list. The developers generally know what they are 
talking about. The problem of course is "how you ask the question".

Basically people can't know heaps about everything so they tend to 
specialise. Then they hang out on the related lists.

The pluglist OTOH is generalist by nature.
