	I believe so... it started partially as a way for newbies to get
help on FreeBSD. I believe it is still relevant as newbies are the ones
who have to drive FreeBSD into the market to eventually get the changes
"we" may want. Without a growing newbie population, FreeBSD will end up
being used by a few crusty old sysadmins sitting around "when I was your
age, Microsoft only had 5 versions of Windows! And we still didn't like
it!" :)
