I think so. I think this list is supposed to be more of a newbies getting
to learn
about mailing lists without offending anyone. Make sure you've had a look
through the FAQ at http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html and tried searching
the archives at http://www.freebsd.org/support.html

There's nothing worse (ok there probably is but you get the point) than
seeing heaps of traffic resolving a particular problem and then someone
who has only just subscribed to questions jumps on and asks the same
question again. Also be aware that the FAQ and search may not provide you
with an answer even though it was discussed on the list. Cover yourself by
saying that you read the FAQ and searched the archives but still couldn't
find the answer. Makes it look like your trying and wins points with guru
question answerers. (Is that a word?)
