Ok, I have a solution to the problems at hand. Delete this list and
"charter" then start a new list named freebsd-newbies and make up a new
"charter" with the inclusion of basic newbie help questions. I see this
as the only real solution to this problem as every one here seems to get
all bent out of shape when you don't follow a charter, rule, or some
other obscure thing so lets just skirt around the issue and use this
loop hole so we can have are calk and eat it to.
