That's certainly the exception rather than the rule. In my experience
the NetBSD lists have been far better than some of the distro-specific
Linux lists I've been on. (Granted, that was some time ago.)
I find amusing that talk about *documentation*, of all things, always
seems to bring out the most heated discussion. (Remember the arguing
about having a wiki? Yikes.)
