Totally agreed.

What community people recommend for beginners? I do have a couple of
questions.
So far, I asked my friends in a round robin fashion to avoid burdening
one in particular, but having a dedicated group of people would make
more sense.

And even if I'm a millennial at the younger end of the range, I would
actually prefer a mailing list. (But feel free to share whatever you
have)!

I tried to find such a group by searching "bgp community" but it didn't
help :-)

Cheers,
