I also think this would work but any moderator should be extremely 
familiar with what is going on at the -questions list. Whenever possible,
rather than giving a straight answer, the moderator or other respondants
should show a link to where the question is answered or is currently
being discussed on -questions, -stable, -ports, etc.

This would have the additional benefit of weaning the (us) newbies off
of htis list and making them (us) more comfortable with the other
resources.
