It is not the number that concerns me - it is the idea that the "correct" place to ask questions is in a mailing list because the developers do not have the time to read the newsgroup. > Just a quick question: What do you mean when you say the Linux groups seem > more "Professional"? I'm not sure to what you are referring. The closest thing I can think of is when I said this in the "When did this because linux.advocacy" thread: Consequently, I like to see Linux advocates pointing out what they think are the advantages of Linux over FreeBSD, especially since the outcome of this type of discussion is usually that the FreeBSD users and developers look more intelligent, knowledgeable and reasonable than their counterparts on the Linux side. ;-) I have no recollection of making any sort of statements about "professional." I think there are lots of people who seem professional in both the Linux and the FreeBSD groups, but it seems to me like there are a lot more people who seem quite the opposite in the Linux groups...
