As a newbie to kernel programming, who might need a little help and guidance,
the above is certainly true.  I can attest to the fact that I have a certain
reluctance to post some of my questions to this list(hackers). I  have posted
some in the past, many of which have gone unanswered, to which I know answers
exists.  This is certainly not the case in all situations.


Note:  I partially feel that OS band X receives a much higher level of
developer contribution than FreeBSD... This is not meant the start a flame war
or OS quality debate...
