Traffic on that list would be monstrously high. You already see how high
traffic on our Linux list goes! I get on the average 50-80 messages a day
from the PLUG list alone. And this is only from discussion on Linux, not
counting these off-topic threads we get from time to time. And quite
probably most people would not be interested in all the discussion of
*all* these free OS's at the same time, so such a list would probably
contain more than 90% gobbledygook for most of its readers. Far better to
have a new list on *BSD, to which those who are interested would
subscribe...
