Interesting, since these days, the kernel mailing list has something of a reputation as an intimidating place. Would you say its still more friendly than BSD was back then?

I think the kernel mailing list was less intimidating back in 1994, because there were far fewer contributors so you didn't have to fight for attention or prove every blue-sky idea with a quality working patch before you'd be taken seriously.
