What sort of posts from newbies do you want filtered out?  Just uncivil
posts?  We frequently complain about newbies posting questions that 
would
easily be answered by reading the archives, FAQs, or datasheets, but 
then
I also observe that the resulting discussions frequently unearth new 
data
and ideas that are quite useful..

I would be willing to be a moderator, if we decide to do that...
I am neither for nor against this proposal itself.  In a sufficiently
perfect world, moderation is unnecessary; in a sufficiently imperfect
world, it doesn't work...
