If we don't clutter freebsd-questions with chat, and don't ask or answer support questions here, they'll leave us alone. We have a "gentlemen's agreement" from most of the helpers that they'll keep their noses out of here and let us let off steam without any wrist slaps or non-newbie points of view. <snip> You must find a way to make freebsd-questions work for you, because nobody else can speak for you.

Hoo-bloody-rah! A succinct expose of what -newbies should be about, and a contribution to the sort of discussion that SHOULD be taking place here.

I too would support the name change to freebsd-newbies-chat, as I recommended two years ago. At last feedback it didn't match the FreeBSD list naming format

/sarcasm How very sad sarcasm/ How about FreeBSD-newbiechat ? (too hard?)

This list can offer welcome opportunity to discuss such issues as "what about -questions?" and "what sources of info I have found most helpful" and the like. The list title does not relect the list's purpose.
