I should know better than to respond to one of your emails, but here
is the list charter:

--
FREEBSD-SECURITY

    Security issues

    FreeBSD computer security issues (DES, Kerberos, known security holes and
    fixes, etc). This is a technical mailing list for which strictly technical
    content is expected.
--

The last sentence is intended to be read as "...as opposed to a forum
for support questions":

--
FREEBSD-QUESTIONS

    User questions

    This is the mailing list for questions about FreeBSD. You should not send
    ``how to'' questions to the technical lists unless you consider the
    question to be pretty technical.
