I don't want take anything away from anyone who wants to contribute to Freebsd in their way. For me personally, -newbies duplicated the work being done on -questions. A single point of contact for the "tech support" needs of the community is a good thing. A place for newbies may be a good thing too. Part of growing out of newbieness is using -questions, even if it means being handled without kid gloves. Perhaps a solution is for Sue Blake to produce a periodic mailing like Greg Lehey's "How to get best results" message. (I love volunteering others to do work :) ) If -newbies does go away, much of the needs of newbies might be met by reminding -questions readers of how to best help _AND_ how to represent FreeBSD. Anyway, my $.02 on the color of the bicycle shed. Thanks, Jason C. Wells To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
