While the experts in a group might be bothered by questions from the
beginners, it is an inevitable part of having a discussion in a public
forum. You can't keep the beginners out be creating another group. They
want their questions answered, and the place to get answers is where
the experts are. It's been shown time and time again that if you want
to restrict postings to certain people/certain levels of expertise/etc.,
start a mailing list or a moderated newsgroup.
