I'm trying to sort out what you actually meant when you said there are no rules about what people can talk about. There seemed to be a few ifs and buts that you were working out as you went, and they are gradually coming together. Now I see that it does, indeed, have a broad topic are that list members are supposed to keep to. That is all a wanted to establish. > If a community cannot communicate openly, then that community will soon die. Quite true. > I am not in competion with this list, only providing another source to seek > help. Of course not. You're in competition with freebsd-questions, and that doesn't concern us, it's just the place we get our free support services. Since we don't seem able to communicate what changes we would like to see to freebsd-questions to make it palatable for newbies, maybe this is the best way of working out what our alternatives are. Regardless, we have freebsd-newbies as an optional forum for discussing such matters on neutral ground. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
