Of course not. No one decides who can join ruby-core either. People
naturally segregate themselves according to the environment most
suitable to them. It's not something that generally needs any kind of
strong-handed enforcement. Moreover, it's not so much about being a
beginner or expert, but whether the thread at hand is beginner or
expert. Even experts occasionally need reminders on basic stuff, etc.

Anyway, I'm not saying it's a perfect idea. The worlds not perfect
place! I'm just looking at some symptoms and suggesting a possible
remedy.
