    Yeah, good question. What's newbies@ supposed to look like,
    sound like, and what are the subscribers supposed to say??

    Maybe something like this??

    ========================================

    Dear FreeBSD Newbies:

    {$greeting}! My name is {$name} and I just wanted
    to say {$expression} to {$person||$persons}for {$reason}.

    Until {$datestamp} I was using {$alt-OS} /* see note below */
    at {$location} for my {$hobby||$work||$obsession}. Now I've
    got FreeBSD installed and it's {$adjective1}. I think {$bug||$feature}
    is really {$adjective2} and I've also had {$adjective3}luck with
    {$portname} and {$portname2} /* optional troll bait */ which
    is as good or better than {$Winapp||$GNUapp}, IMO.

    I have been having some {$adjective4} getting my {$hardware}
    to {$verb} with the GENERIC kernel, and {$software} won't
    {$verb2} at all, but I think a little more {$noun}and it'll be
    {$adjective5} Anyone else had any {$noun2}like this??

    Ah, well, soon I hope to do {$verb3||$amazing-feat} using only
    FBSD & {$obscure-hardware||$obscure-software}. Any newbies
    out there who are interested in {$noun3} give me a holler and
    maybe we can {$verb4}.

    FreeBSD {$verb5|| echo "forever"}!!
