List suggestion

I've been a lurker on this list since it was created. I had hoped to be
able to contribute, but must confess that this project has grown far
beyond any of my skills in programming or statistical methods.

I'm still using bogofilter as part of my campaign against spam, though,
and am finding it a little difficult to understand how to use it
efficiently. My questions are not necessarily suitable for a developer's
discussion, so I'd like to make the following suggestion.

If Adrain wouldn't mind administering another list, wouldn't it make
sense to create a [bogofilter-users] list? I know that I'm no longer
able to follow most of the discussions on statistical methods or the
programming. However, I still retain a strong interest in keeping a
current version of bogofilter running.

It seems to me that there are two main groups on the bogofilter list;
those who are developing code and analyzing statistical methods for
improving code, and those who don't really understand it but would like
to find an effective tool against spam regardless of how it works.
Moving the second group to another list would hopefully increase the
signal-to-noise for both groups, and possibly even contribute to wider
acceptance of bogofilter.

Regards,
Michael
