I would start by making a rule that anyone asking how would you
improve FreeBSD on the mailing list be sentenced to write:
"I will not post silly questions to the mailing list that are
answered on
the website"
several hundred times. See:

No need to be so FUCKING arrogant.
First, please tone down the language. He didn't swear at you. Don't
escalate it.
Second, while Ted doesn't get the Medal of Subtlety award, he is a
regular poster on the mailing list and does offer help to a number of
people much of the time. Sure, he's crotchety and curmudgeonly at
times, but after being on these lists long enough he probably gets
tired of seeing the same recycled questions and the same types of
issues crop up over and over that are clearly written out in other
resources if someone managed to open a browser and google with a couple
keywords before belching out a quick email to a few thousand human list
members to once again answer a question that has been covered in FAQs
and handbooks.
I don't think it's been actively advertised that ideas are submitted
through the website, though, Ted...you could have at least tried for a
little more guidance and less ridicule on this one :-)
If there's a particular aspect you'd want to ask about, you could
probably take that approach, or ask about something in ideas. Until a
listmom pokes in to tell you it should be in a discussion group, not
questions group.
Just my two cents. Not that it counts for anything.
