All around. Don't you see the well-known FreeBSD names in almost
every message?

Relevance depends on the forum. By definition almost anything goes on
-chat:
Non technical items related to the FreeBSD community
This list contains the overflow from the other lists about
non-technical, social information. It includes discussion about
whether Jordan looks like a toon ferret or not, whether or not to
type in capitals, who is drinking too much coffee, where the best
beer is brewed, who is brewing beer in their basement, and so
on. Occasional announcements of important events (such as
upcoming parties, weddings, births, new jobs, etc) can be made to
the technical lists, but the follow ups should be directed to
this -chat list.
So, tell me what a toon ferret is.
Greg
