what does Sue Blake, Greg Lehey and the other old timers on the freebsd-newbies list have to say about the name change.

I got a response from Greg Lehey saying that he didn't think a name change or doing away with the list all together would be a viable solution. He closed saying everyone will just have to live with things as they are.

in part this seems to be a simple matter of people not reading the mail list charter, which is sent to them when they first subscribe:

Agreed but how many charters have you read in their entirety after subscribing to a list? Maybe you have a good habit of reading and understanding the charters before sending email, however I'm guilty of subscribing to lists and deleting the charters without reading them.

Yes, I'm a bad boy sometimes. 8^)

I initially subscribed to -newbies because I "assumed" it was a list where newbies could post technical questions. I made this assumption based on the current name of the list. If it would have been called "freebsd-dontaskquestionshere.org", I probably wouldn't have subscribed right away and posted my questions to -questions instead.

FREEBSD-NEWBIES

Welcome to FreeBSD! This list is a gathering place for people new to FreeBSD. Please feel free to share your experiences with others on this list.

Maybe the list should be renamed to "freebsd-newbies-readthecharterfirst.org"?

(just kidding) 8^)
