I agree with Rick and think that a name change would
help clear things up a lot.
Rick, is a name change for this list possible?
How hard would it be to do this?
Thanks

No.... :) This list was created with the cavet that NO technical
questions be asked here. Because those who hang on -questions did not want
to be subscribed to yet another email list, AND it was felt that the
FreeBSD project needed only one point of contact for technical
questions. The secondary effect is that since this is a -newbie list and
newbie could potentially answer a question wrong. Without someone more
experienced around to watch for that... bad things could happen to your
system. The simple fact is that this list needs to be renamed to
newbie-chat or deleted. :)
