That's basically the description I thought I wrote as well. :)  However, to
the extent that Zope and Zope-dev's boundaries become blurred, i.e., people
with ultra-basic questions like "How do you spell DTML?" may post them on
Zope, but if someone REALLY REALLY wants an answer they go to Zope-dev
because that's where the "smart Zope people" hang out, then you get the kind
of situation M. Deprez was describing, where an answerable Zope question
gets asked on Zope and completely ignored.

Maybe the moral of the story is that we should all commit to reading Zope as
well as Zope-dev, rather than just glancing at each truckload and saying
"hmph, more arguments about Apache, yawn" and turning to Zope-dev for the
really interesting stuff.

And we should encourage members to use MEANINGFUL Zubjects that actually
summarize what a question is about, so we're not tempted to skim past

etcetera, only to have someone tell us later "Well I asked and asked but I
never got an answer!"
