  I think so; otherwise off-topic stuff will still end up in the help
list... and having there be a officially sanctioned "general discussion"
will continue to promote a debian community.

  Thanks for the mailing list link... I'm going to put together a proper
proposal sometime in the next few days for a "debian-help" mailing list, and
suggest that the "Help and" be dropped from the debian-user list at the same
time.

  Cheers,
