Since when the hell did gender come into the discussions in these mailing lists? I don't know about anyone else, but I never consider the gender of person who posts a message, or to whom I reply. I can't recall any sexist remarks/threads appearing here and I'm damn sure that they wouldn't be tolerated. The subject of these lists is FreeBSD, does gender, race, colour, or creed enter in to it? I think not. > The FAD mailing list? I would wait until it gets more traffic. Currently > there are only 12 subscribers, and volume is very low. So far most messages > are reply-less :/ Well, I think it's a great idea, I've subscribed but I can't promise to make any worthwhile contribution for a time yet. I've subscribed in the hope that I can learn from others but if I feel able to contribute then I'll chip in. -- Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.
