I also do not understand many of the discussions on the list, but I found the people on this list very friendly and helpful when I had asked questions - sometimes very stupid questions. If a newbie list can render the same kind of service as the perl-beginners list It will be a very good thing, but then it will ask a lot of the more experienced members of this list to answer all the newbie questions on a separate list. I would certainly subscribe to such a list.
