This will be a list that will be easily abused from the start since every
person new to an Operating System like FreeBSD will think that their
probleem is indeed urgent and deemed a crisis situation.

Already exists.

Already exists.

Nah, that won't happen. Be glad that questions exists else the other lists
would be having a very high signal/noise ratio.

Thus increasing the message flow one gets from questions and add to
crossposting...

On a sidenote, may I suggest creating a normal user account for yourself
and not mail out as root?
