Because those who hang on -questions did not want to be subscribed to yet another email list, AND it was felt that the FreeBSD project needed only one point of contact for technical questions. The secondary effect is that since this is a -newbie list and newbie could potentially answer a question wrong. Without someone more experienced around to watch for that... bad things could happen to your system. The simple fact is that this list needs to be renamed to newbie-chat or deleted. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
