Just curious: is there someone who would be interested in the former without also being interested in the latter? Moreover, since the total traffic of even the three combined sub-topics (beginners, using OCaml, improving OCaml) is relatively low, it strikes me as unnecessarily burdensome for users to maintain membership in yet another separate list. Finally, it seems that many of the questions typical of absolute beginners have found their way into Stack Overflow. That should ease some of the concerns of subscribers only to the caml-list about being confronted with "silly" questions should the beginners list be merged into the caml-list. Cheers, Dario Teixeira
