May I suggest then that you post briefly to that effect on freebsd-questions? There are some who have attacked various elements of how things happen on -questions lately, and although there are problems that need to be addressed it is always useful (and uplifting :) to hear words of praise for the things that go well. > I am overwhelmed by the volume of the mail I receive from the > freebsd-questions list.

One of my main sources for learning about freebsd was reading -questions and trying the stuff that people suggested. As you learn more about the system you will more easily recognize the things that might be relevant or useful to you and the things that you can easily ignore. > I suppose I can always ask for help when I need it.
