Your question parses, but it is not clear what specific thing you have in mind 
that would seperate an IT-oriented list from a non-IT oriented list.  Can you 
either give an example question or two, or can you say why freebsd-questions 
is *not* IT-oriented?

Or does your question mean you looking for a list whose members are mostly 
sysadmins and network managers, rather than end-users?  FreeBSD doesn't really 
make much distinction between an end-user and a sysadmin [1], but you might 
find freebsd-stable or freebsd-isp to come closer to what you are looking for.
