It does??? Would you mind letting me know (in private mail if you like)
what book that was, and exactly what words it uses? If people
really are being told to ask _support_questions_ here, that's a shame.
It would mean that they would be stepping outside the list charter.
Keeping within list charters is a condition of using the freebsd
lists. You should go to the authoritative source, the list charters
(descriptions) on the freebsd.org web site.

Not tech support, no.
If you want help, as for it in the right place. If you want to be
passed around and fed whatever silly or misleading replies people
feel like typing at you, then stay in this chat list and cop it sweet.
Do you want support or don't you?
If you do want support, write to freebsd-questions and you'll get it.
When you don't want any help, but you really need to get something off
your chest, you can do that here. But you already know that.
