NOPE.  Disagree Completely.  You are way out of touch.  Those people 
don't comprehend a "mailing list".  They do "web pages" and "web 
forums" and other clumsy devices.  Put it on www.freebsd.org if you 
want it easily accessible to such people.

I have some gripe with the list and its membership, but have never 
accused it of being a circle-jerk.

Shut Up.  Those guys are in the windoze or linux 'fest.
