I'm trying to sort out what you actually meant when you said there are
no rules about what people can talk about. There seemed to be a few ifs
and buts that you were working out as you went, and they are gradually
coming together.
Now I see that it does, indeed, have a broad topic are that list
members are supposed to keep to. That is all a wanted to establish.

Quite true.

Of course not. You're in competition with freebsd-questions, and that
doesn't concern us, it's just the place we get our free support services.
Since we don't seem able to communicate what changes we would like to
see to freebsd-questions to make it palatable for newbies, maybe this
is the best way of working out what our alternatives are.
Regardless, we have freebsd-newbies as an optional forum for discussing
such matters on neutral ground.
