Reword the paragraph about choosing the appropriate mailing list to again de-emphasize USENET and encourage the user to choose the most appropriate technical mailing list according to the charters. Note that freebsd mailing list archives are kept in perpetuity, and users with privacy conerns should consider using a disposable secondary email address and only posting public information. [1] Re-organize the "Web Resources" section into a new first section about "Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks" with references to the FreeBSD Forums, Planet FreeBSD, and the BSDConferences YouTube channel. Move the long list of web mirrors to a second section appropriately titled as such. The former section just listed many dozen mirrors of www.freebsd.org under "web resources" which was less useful.
