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. Tossing non beginner support topics in questions@
deprives other lists. Not all on hackers@ current@ & the many other
list want to be on questions@ & vice versa.
Please read list remits & subscribe & post most appropriate list per
topic.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
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.
