The following reply was made to PR advocacy/13790; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Steve Price <sprice@hiwaay.net> To: Bob Van Valzah <Bob@whitebarn.com> Cc: Jeroen Ruigrok/Asmodai <asmodai@wxs.nl>, FreeBSD Gnats <freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org> Subject: Re: advocacy/13790: Kudos for Recent Press Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 14:49:03 -0500 (CDT) On Fri, 17 Sep 1999, Bob Van Valzah wrote: # But this sequence of events leaves me with some nagging questions # # 1. Does advocacy even belong on send-pr.html? What would be a reasonable # problem to report in the advocacy category? Would you actually track # it and close it? I added the advocacy category to cover problems encountered with the WWW pages on advocacy.freebsd.org. Don't know that it has proven to have been worhwhile since this site no longer exists. # 2. Why doesn't Advocacy@FreeBSD.Org show up in the top 10 search hits? Probably because it is a relatively new list and doesn't see the amount of traffic that the other lists do. # 3. What ever happened to the host Advocacy.FreeBSD.Org? (One of the # search page hits lead there.) It has gone away and been replaced with http://freebsd.tesserae.com/ among other sites, I believe. # 4. I can't be the only guy to've ever introduced a "noise" message into # the PR system. Is there a systemic problem that makes it difficult to # close a "noise" message and get on with it? Nope. It took me about 30 seconds to close the PR and type in my reasoning behind it. I have an account on the GNATS box so I closed it instead of Jeroen. To the best of my knowledge he doesn't have an account yet, though he does the Project a tremendous service by drudging through the PR database looking for things to help out with. # Thanks for your consideration. Thank you. -steve # Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
