Not exclusively to male individuals. Please try not to make anyone feel you're 
not interested in their opinion because of their gender.

thanks

As the others have already pointed out: this is a FreeBSD user mailing
list. But speaking of employees: cheques are welcome anyway ;-)

Hi,

 Sir,
 I'm totally a beginner and I'm glad cause it seems
 to me that I always get response to every question
 that I send to freebsd mailing list. And not just one,
 but I always receive more than what I really
 need!(isn't it cool!)

Welcome to FreeBSD.

 I'm just wondrin' who exactly am I mailing to? Are
 you all employees from FreeBSD Mailing Center? And
 those mails coming from other users like me that are
 being sent to my e-mail, can I reply to them if ever I
 know the answer and want to share my knowledge? That's
 all.

There is no such thing.  In fact there aren't any employees.
FreeBSD is written and maintained by volunteers (tho a few are
fortunate that their employers where-ever they work consider their
contribution to FreeBSD to be valid parts of their jobs).  Anyway
there is no central FreeBSD staff and the Email list is responded 
to voluntarily by the subscribers, like yourself, who have subscribed 
to the list to learn and contribute.

It is my understanding that there are - or were - a very small
number of people who work directly for FreeBSD.  (Jordan Hubard (now
with Apple) and Kirk McCusick come to mind.)

  Anyway there is no central FreeBSD staff

THe Core Team is the closest approximation.

Indeed.

Well, they can answer for themselves if they choose.  I don't know
their details.

Sort of, but they still are not employed by FreeBSD, even if FreeBSD
employs a lot of their time and mental (and other) resources.

You are mailing to a list that has thousands of users ... 

We all see the emails sent here. 

And if we know the answer, any one of us (you too) can
send that in to help the original questioner, and to contribute to the
general knowledge pool... (keep reading the emails - you will learn from
other peoples questions just as much as you hope to learn from your own)

Mind expansion begins here --  .  --

Enjoy.
