For all those, who want to advocate Linux: Why not "contributing" to
comp.os.linux.advocacy or comp.os.ms-windows.nt.advocacy.

Currently, there are some interesting threads running ("Linux/UNIX vs.
NT") for example.

IMHO, open a new mailing list for advocacy stuff, doesn't make much
sense. There are already quite a few newsgroups for this kind of
discussions
