Until then, they don't and can't. > Could you stop this discussion in this list already PLEASE? This is getting totaly off topic, and I think that's what the -chat list is for. I get enough email during the day, I don't need even more, and that's why I did not sign up for the -chat list. And if I remember right, there was number of requests to stop this discussion in this list already. If you are doing reply to all just take java@freebsd.org out of the CC/TO fields. It's not that hard. Someone who is on the the -chat list, rely time message too please. (Don't think it will get there if I'm not gined up) Thanks, mayo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
