I for one vote for win32 users having their own list as soon as
possible. I predict three things:
1) there will be *lots* of them coming to -general (instead of to -novice);
2) there will be a surge of novice-oriented and MySQL-related posts in
-general;
3) the other members of the -general list will get annoyed enough that
eventually a win32-users list is set up.
So why go through the pain of #1 and #2 when we can go directly to #3 :-)
Btw, here's a nice read as well as a reminder of things to come:
