Because we already _have_ a list `for general FreeBSD questions', and it
is open. Adding even more lists to the mix will --at least initially--
only serve as a source of mild confusion. Imagine you are a new FreeBSD
user. You know absolutely nothing about all this moderated vs. open
list stuff. You only happen to stumble upon a listing of the two places
on www.FreeBSD.org and their descriptions are:
freebsd-questions - A list for general FreeBSD questions.
freebsd-questions-moderated - A moderated list for FreeBSD questions.
Now step back a bit, assume you are a new FreeBSD user, and you have to
decide where to post. Where would you post and why?
