one other thing here the bsds are different enough that a general
heavy technical list would be a bit of a mess at best, for example:

user: I need to add some accounts, about 200 in bulk
expert: use the pw command and a small shell/awk script to set it up
user: whats pw?
expert: man pw
user: its not there
expert: what OS are you running
user: bsd
expert: what kind of bsd
user: oh there are different, cd says openbsd
expert: you are right pw is not in openbsd, you really should use
freebsd for this stuff
user: you think so?
expert2: openbsd is great and freebsd is lacking X,Y,Z use useradd( or
is it adduser i forget(this is me not expert2))
...

this will happen unless we had a moderator, and I would feel sorry for
whoever took the job.
