Hi, Is -muiltimedia still closed so you need to subscribe before you can post? I'd like it open again, as it used to be. Few reasons. 1) We only ever have one or two Windows 95/98/NT questions a month. And I usually reply direct to the author with the answer anyway. (I reply with a friendly comment about a) what FreeBSD is, b) where the correct place to post/search is and c) I often know the answer anyway as I have Win95/98/NT 4 boxes with Bt848's based grabbers and do some Video for Windows API development. 2) In Europe, local calls (to your ISP) are not free. email costs me money. freebsd-muiltimedia is low traffic, but subscribing increases the amount of mail you need to download, when usually the reply you wanted is CC'ed to the original author anyway. I'd like the group back open again. This time, we could generate some stats on Windows posts and just see how frequently they occur. Perhaps those that reply with abusive comments about Microsoft operating systems could just ignore Windows posts.
