I have to admit that I didn't even know that list exists, assuming that also a
few other experienced people. As far as I'm concerned this list is ideal for
noobs and if you do know what you are doing its a no issue filtering unwanted
threads.

You could try to ask them to put noob question in the title so people who
really don't like help can filter the messages more easily (or add an header
stating how long the user has been on the list ...)
