    Isn't the main reason why new users are intimidated to ask questions on
    freebsd-questions because of the very existence of freebsd-newbies?
    Because freebsd-newbies exists, the newbies feel that that's where they
    belong. For the future new users, that will never have heard that
    freebsd-newbies ever existed, it will be natural to ask questions on
    freebsd-questions. Instead they will be intimidated to discuss
    "specific technical issue" on freebsd-hackers ;-)
