I think what the OP is trying to get at is, you have more chance of
getting an answer on this list. The big telling point for me is the
number of posts for August 2016, this list had 700 more posts than the
other list, which only had 2.
There is no point in directing new users to a list where they are
unlikely to get an answer.
