Sorry about that, of course, I knew the person I mentioned, as an 
example, wasn't on this list, but that doesn't justify it.

I know it wouldn't suit most, but I like, sort of, the idea of 
an "advanced" list, though I might call it a "theory" list, or 
something similarly intimidating... yet, what would that entail? 
Entering the main list and reading TBAYs - I was here almost a year 
before I even started reading them, and there are some good arguments 
there, some really interesting theories, that certainly qualify for 
advanced -  the cosmopolitan character of hpfgu would be weakened if 
those all went to "advanced". And, in some rare cases, the ship stuff 
is quite germane...

Yet, porphyria has told me she can no longer read all the posts, and 
told me to send her any of my "good" ones... So, yeah, some so-called 
good posters do find the list unmanageable. 

Could be, like, FATHEAD (For All Theories Having Extended Analysis 
and Documentation)

or ANAL RETENTIVE (Analysis, Numinosity, Alchemy and Long-windedness: 
Reading Everything Tends to Ennervate Non-newbies, Trying Intelligent 
Viable Externalization for Theories Extended, Overlong, Reasoned, and 
Intellectual Excellent)

or something like that.

But a newbie arena is possible too.
