p:d, Chuck et al have mailing lists that I'm sure would address your
specific need. I would also bet that discussions of that type would
be welcome here, too. Why don't you start some specific threads about
the topics you would like to discuss? I know I would find them
interesting.

Again, start the topics that you want to see discussed.

Something I've learned in the very, very short time I've been a Linux
user - *nothing* drops from the sky. You have to work for it and,
most importantly, dig and do your research.

It sounds to me like the general nature of the list doesn't appeal to
you, which is just fine. I think subscribing to more specific lists
and using the information presented on this list as general help to
augment the others would be a better approach for you.
