That's what happens in practice. But no, the ocaml-beginners list is
described as a beginners' forum. Why would anyone else subscribe?
I've been receiving the messages from ocaml-beginners since its creation.
At that time I was not a beginner for a long time already, but it has been
interesting until now because some questions are just practical
questions which do not have anything to do with learning the OCaml
language.
But here again, not everyone is interested in reading and answering
beginners' questions, which still constitutes the majority of messages
there.
