Isn't the main reason why new users are intimidated to ask questions on 
freebsd-questions because of the very existence of freebsd-newbies? 
Because freebsd-newbies exists, the newbies feel that that's where they 
belong. For the future new users, that will never have heard that 
freebsd-newbies ever existed, it will be natural to ask questions on 
freebsd-questions. Instead they will be intimidated to discuss 
"specific technical issue" on freebsd-hackers ;-)
