IMHO, the only people who could reliably differentiate "101" questions
would be those people who long ago stopped needing to ask them.  :-) As
for the others, if you don't know much, then you probably don't know how
much  you don't know, so how would you know which list to use?

OTOH, an SQL list seems like a good idea. Right now, SQL questions seem
divided between RPG-L , for embedded SQL, and Midrange-L, for general SQL.
Since there's a big overlap (sometimes the answer to an embedded question
involves syntax that can be used anywhere), it can be kind of confusing. .
