Well, I think there's a difference, but perhaps it's too soon to tell. The
biggest difference IMHO is that the tutor list is public and subscribed to
by both tutors and novices -- and my hope is that some of the novices
listening on the exchanges can learn from them, which doesn't happen w/
the help-list because of its relatively private nature (which I think is
useful for some).

Is that happening?  I can't tell -- maybe some of the novices on the list
can let us know.
