I agree with Jeff. While I understand this general list can become a bit overwhelming for the CentOS Staff, we all must remember that this is a GENERAL list. All questions, from the novice to the expert should be welcome. This list is not only a way to get problems resolved, but a very effective learning tool for all users. Let's remember why we're here. To support and learn from our fellow CentOS users/admins.
I believe creating another list is a mistake. Delegate a full-time moderator if you feel overwhelmed by the various threads created on this list, but a second list will only encourage cross-posting.
Lets not go the way of the DJB lists and become intolerant of general, but relevant conversations.
