   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.)

   I think that is rather a question for the -advocacy list.  :-)
