            Asbestos underwear aside, FreeBSD is a community that is expanding at
    all the tiers, from n00b ,operator,admin, developer and finally to "I
    write interrupt level microcode for God's machine herself, how dare you
    ask that question on this list, this is clearly a ports problem,
    uggh!". The best part of the list it is that it belongs to the people
    who use it moderately and politely.

            Appropriating the newbie list for a wider range of questions gives
    people a chance to play with ideas they would not ordinarily be exposed
    to. People who come to FreeBSD from another unix should appreciate this
    variety. Real brand new unix/BSD mephits will appreciate good humor and
    courtesy.

            I would hate to bug -hackers, or -questions with an OpenSSL upgrade
    question. And if you have ever read lists from that other "Highly
    Secure" free BSD that starts with an "O" which originates the said
    library; You might envision a truly frightened new user. This a great
    question for this list, we are all newbies. ( excluding people who are
    busy writing the Kernel )

            That said, our successful community will not scold people who don't
    know where to get the information they seek. We will instead try to
    help, and buy suggesting different approaches, give everyone learns
    something different.

    btw: I would not build _my_ crypto framework from ports. *wink
