That safe place is nblug-talk.  I've been on the list since the
beginning, and i've yet to see anyone flamed or even rudely treated for
asking a "newb" question.  The worst you'll get is request to clarify,
and if it looks like you're being lazy, maybe a polite request to do a
bit of reading :)

So feel comfortable in asking your tp600 question.  Include the relevant
parts of the error message, and the steps taken to provoke the error.

In regards to splitting up the list, i'm with Eric.  Until we start
seeing tons of traffic, one talk list should be fine.
