[Wine] Mailing list <-> forum gateway

On Sunday 02 March 2008, my mailbox was graced by a missive

The list was, before the forum link, a place where serious wine-users could 
discuss problems.

With the forum link we have been flooded with beginners queries that barely 
merit a RTFM / RTFFAQ and the nois/signal ratio has become very strong.

Which leads me to reconsider my membership of this list, as it is now mainly a 
waste of time for advanced users; in which case I would also feel compelled 
to remove myself from the various apps I am maintainer of.

Cheers,
 
Ron.
