    I agree about technical question being sent to the questions-list but
    being newbies in fbsd deosn't mean that all people here are newbies in
    computers...
    I'd also like to add that many "newbies" that are not in the
    questions-list can benefit from listening to other peoples questions so
    I would suggest that they subscribe to the questions-list...
