This is a joke, right? As much mail as we generate needlessly debating why newbies should have their own question lists, I've had to install new e-mail filters just to keep track of it all. And while I'm up on the soapbox, why is everyone so afraid of asking questions in FreeBSD-Questions? The worst that you'll get is ignored or a standard RTM response. So what? You're all adults. Deal with it. Besides, two lists requires people to make judgements on whether a question is for the newbies or advanced enough to make -Questions. And if the e-mail on this list is any indication, I might as well just get a job as a greeter in Level One of Tim's Seven Circles of UNIX Knowledge because I'll never make it to Level Two. K.S.
