My name isn't Mario. I should follow Jordan Hubbards advice, not CC:ing everyone, but... First... Why sending messages as Mario when you aren't Mario? Second... Did you follow the link in the message? It seems to be a BSD users group having a get together, and as people usually are social beings (even most people sitting in front of a com- puter) why not let other BSD users know where they can meet, having a beer or two, talking to other people sharing a common interest? Who knows, maybe someone comes up with a good idea at that informal meeting, that can benefit the project? Is by the way information about, for an example, Usenix on the mailing list from the good people of the FreeBSD Project also spam? I personally think (almost) everything related to BSD are appropriate on a BSD list. > On Mon, 9 Dec 2002, Jordan Hubbard wrote: > > >>Oh, now that was really really intelligent.
