    The problem is that newbies tend to think that their technical issues
    are just "general problems" which they have because they are newbies.
    Newbies will still ask on freebsd-newbies because they think their
    problem doesn't qualify as a "specific technical issue". How about
    something like this:

    Please use this list to share your thoughts and experiences with other
    users new to FreeBSD. Send all your questions asking for support and
    problem solving to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org and not to this list.
