The problem is that newbies tend to think that their technical issues 
are just "general problems" which they have because they are newbies. 
Newbies will still ask on freebsd-newbies because they think their 
problem doesn't qualify as a "specific technical issue". How about 
something like this:

Please use this list to share your thoughts and experiences with other
users new to FreeBSD. Send all your questions asking for support and
problem solving to freebsd-questions at freebsd.org and not to this list.
