Will,

I support any help that can be given to people who are new, but I'd have to say that avoiding subjects also restricts learning. I think there is value to having some subjects repeated occasionally. Personally I wouldn't want to be a newbie intrigued by brass cores and not know about the controversy. While I hope that you're efforts here are to help decrease the "name-calling" that can occur when discussing these subjects but I wouldn't want to discourage civilized people from asking questions.
