I tried emailing freebsd-doc@freebsd.org on 2/17/03 and I got the below error message. I think I have actually tried doc@freebsd.org in the past and also got an error message but I am not sure. Can you give me any other email addresses to try? I would really like to hear from someone at freebsd directly who knows why it was used. If not I might try doc@freebsd.org again. It would dissappoint me if a flame war started over simply asking a question. Since this may be the case, maybe if anyone else wants to respond to me they can do so to me directly?
