[nfbcs] Proposing an EZ tech questions list

[Louis Maher]

Folks,

I do agree with Jim.  We do not need another list to monitor.

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
