Is there a better alias for freebsd code related questions

It is entirely likely that the community have been caught unawares by 
the stranger in their midst; no doubt they are asking the same questions 
as I am now asking, which are, "Who is this guy from Microsoft, and why 
is he asking so many random questions?" Not to be rude you understand.

These are quite reasonable questions to ask, given the perceived 
ideological opposition based on the organisation you represent, its 
ideology, and its business practices. However, to stay the reasonable 
and centred course. I would suggest the following course of action:

1. You subscribe to freebsd-hackers@ (a more appropriate venue for such 
coding questions)
2. You post an initial mail asking a question, with sufficient 
background about why the Possibly Nasty Man from Possibly Nasty 
Organisation is Asking So Many Questions. Tell us about yourself.

This clear communication dispels the randomness aspect and the Possibly 
Nasty Man aspect, helping all to achieve clear communication.

I myself am familiar with communicating with sub-entities of the 
Microsoft entity, having had productive open source work directly funded 
by your organisation, regardless of concerns in the wider community 
regarding that organisation.

With apologies to the late Robert Anton Wilson.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards
