Beside the point: the Wrong list was posted to. questions@ list was created to help beginners, not to debate & invite votes to determine future design. FreeBSD lists have remits so people can read & write lists most tuned to interests. Tossing non beginner support topics in questions@ deprives other lists. Not all on hackers@ current@ & the many other list want to be on questions@ & vice versa. Please read list remits & subscribe & post most appropriate list per topic.
