    I have received some replies to my post responding to the FreeBSD-newbies
    group is a compromise community thread. I want to thank everyone that has
    responded. The posts have been very helpful and informative.

    Had these posts appeared on the list in the past I probably would not have
    the issues I have now with FreeBSD and getting my own help. Unfortunately,
    the discouragement from answering questions on the list have really
    compromised the stated purpose of the list, to encourage the newbie in using
    the resources available to get useful results.

    I would like to either request permission from the folks that have posted to
    me, to send their replies back to the list, or to ask the posters to send
    the replies directly to the list.

    Patient, helpful advice on how to use the resources available is invaluable,
    and necessary for this list to function, I believe. I've been on this list
    for a year now, and have never seen this type of post to the open list. I
    wish I had, as I'd be very much farther in my exploration of and learning
    the FreeBSD system.

    Pardon my long run-on sentences. But I do appreciate the help I've gotten
    today, and I'd really like to see this list provide that help to all the
    newbies that subscribe.
