I can see why it would be confusing. However, the fact of the matter is...Each and every one of us got an e-mail explaining exactly what the list is for when we signed up. If people didn't read that message, they aren't likely to read the welcome message for any other list, and things would not be better. As it is now, the names of all the groups are freebsd-*. I like it that way because it makes for easy filtering without having to filter anything that has @freebsd.org in it. Obviously, it would be easy to fix, but some things are best left unchanged ;-) Sean -- "Believe me, the truth is we're not honest.
