[nfbcs] Proposing an EZ tech questions list

[Jim Barbour]

Sorry, I'm going to speak up and vote no.

My general thinking here is that it's pretty hard to police which questions get asked on which lists.  I already see that people don't really pay attention to what should be on the nfbcs, gui-talk, and electronics-talk, lists.

Adding yet another list for questions would just be yet another list to monitor for questions.  

Hope this makes sense,

Jim
