 Sotiris,

What is a newbie?  If the criteria is the Boston meeting, I fail the 
test.  At that time I was caring for my terminally ill parent and 
attended nothing, had little time for mail lists...  However, I've kept 
up with the Internet evolution since the early 80's.  Am I a newbie?  
In addition, there are newbies who have done their homework and 
are as well versed in the isues as some of the oldest participants.  

Presence on these lists should not be the criteria.  I lurked for years 
before joining.  If a person has little to say, why clutter the list?  
That does not mean that he or she does not have the valuable 
experience to participate and/or lead.  I think it is much more 
important to know if a candidate has an understanding of the issues 
and the qualities to uphold the position for which he or she is 
running.

Just my 2 cents. :)
