Here are the other possible lists and by their descriptions none of them made sense for the subject matter of the OP's post: -advocacy@: FreeBSD Evangelism (the OP was not asking how to market FreeBSD just defend it on technical grounds to upper management of their org) -women@: Victor is not a very female name (enough said) There is no -smalltalk@ list and even if there was it would be a misleading name since there is a programming language by that name. So the bottom line is @questions- is the best (and only) place for such threads. If you want a new group, suggest one to the owners of the freebsd mailing lists and see if you can make one. or the web forum > > https://forums.freebsd.org The handbook says mailing lists are the prefered way to communicate about FreeBSD so suggesting the forum is pointless if you want to get the widest possible input. To quote "The mailing lists are the most direct way of addressing questions or opening a technical discussion to a concentrated FreeBSD audience." -- Aryeh M.
