For newbies, forums like Daemonforums act actually as a safety bridge to attain a higher level .. gradually .. and this is important as highest level developpers are not logically supposed to deal directly with low evel users .. not a kind of uppisheness .. but rather an organizational necessity for things to run smooth .. and for discourse to remain mostly understandible .. newbies differ in how they use/understand the faqs .. some of them get dedaemonized when they fail to understand a portion of a faq .. some come here and there and get needed information in an attenuated form that suits their level .. and step by step they imbue something we might call "survival *BSD knowldge" necessary to follow along the path .. using .. testing .. contributing .. :-)
