Hello Gig,
You are right the correct "list" is important.
In my own opinion, given some personal experience I have in homebuilding, The share of building information is VERY important for anyone, both Newbie and "Experienced" builder, First note that we all have to admit, that we keep learning all our lives.
I think that there is an important "line" here:
BEFORE Internet and AFTER internet (email lists in this case).
I remember (prior Internet times) that when I had a serious concern about some detail in the plans (or when choosing an airplane to build).
First I need to find out Where to look for the information (through magazines and articles mostly) then send a letter to the magazine editor for the data of the plane and designer, wait weeks for his answer, then write to the designer, builder, "kit factory" (some of this " kit factories" was the own designer's garage), then wait for an answer (if they feel like writing overseas) for another month ot more.
In short, for some "to be" builders, could take several months to gather just the basic info for starting, only to be kind of convinced, that this was the plane of our dreams...
Now with this modern internet time, a first time builder, Newbie with no previous background in aviation, all he needs to do is to "google" some information (truth or false, we find plenty of both in internet) and subscribe to the specific airplane list, and Bingo!
In a few weeks, he is an ·"Expert" that can even advice "Newbies" from the use (or not) of Scothbrite, up to the way to modify the airplane to prevent flutter 
About "flying advice" and flight simulators... Thats another story

Gary,
The big problem with the multiple lists is for the newbies that find it on the
web forum instead of via the e-mail list. They come find a 650 list with out
much information and never return.
I know I couldn't have built my plane without this list or one like it.
