--As of February 19, 2012 3:30:15 PM +0100, Julian H. Stacey is alleged to have said: > Beside the point: the Wrong list was posted to. > questions@ list was created to help beginners, > not to debate & invite votes to determine future design. > > FreeBSD lists have remits so people can read & write lists most > tuned to interests.

I don't get 'beginners' from 'User questions and technical support'. It's probably the best place for most beginner's questions, but that isn't the same as 'the list is for beginners'. Hackers@ might have been appropriate for this question, but it's not really a *technical* question: It's a *preference* question. As such asking the group of general users isn't a bad idea, as it's their preferences that the question was aimed at... It was a question for the users of FreeBSD. Adressing it to the list for user questions may be an interesting interpretation of the grammar, but it's not an invalid one. Daniel T.
