Isn't the main reason why new users are intimidated to ask questions on freebsd-questions because of the very existence of freebsd-newbies? Because freebsd-newbies exists, the newbies feel that that's where they belong. For the future new users, that will never have heard that freebsd-newbies ever existed, it will be natural to ask questions on freebsd-questions. Instead they will be intimidated to discuss "specific technical issue" on freebsd-hackers ;-) Chris
