If someone doesn't know the answer to a question, how are they going to be able to determine that it's a simple enough question to go in comp.unix. questions and not comp.unix.wizards? -- "But then, two Dr. McCoy's just might bring the level of medical efficiency on this ship up to acceptable levels."

Unless you're a wizard specifically asking for other wizards' opinions, send your question to comp.unix.questions. That's what it's for. In the unlikely event you do not get an answer within a week or so, then and only then try unix.wizards. Generally it won't be necessary to escalate the question; there are still a fair number of wizards reading comp.unix.questions.
