Then you should think about un-subscribing from the wine-users. That is the list for users to seek help. If you saying you can only help these users and not other users just because they know less about wine - you should rethink why you subscribed to the list in the first place.
This is a pointless conversation. Splitting mailing list to "noobs" and "experts" will never work, as noobs will always think they are experts, and wise-versa.
