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.
