If you did, you'd notice the URL you specify above is to a mailing list archive. The word "Livecast" is mentioned because the poster says: news flash: I just got livecast to connect and remain connected with a Lvl: value indicating my audio level, this is unusual. > Livecast is a registered trademark that is owned by Livecast, Inc.

What does this have to do with the message? This tells me you didn't even bother looking at the page you referenced. > Please change this page(s) on your website, and if you would email me > back when the change is completed, I would appreciate it.

This is not part of the FreeBSD.org web site per se -- it is an archived email sent from a private individual to a mailing list. FreeBSD.org has no say over the content of the messages sent to its lists and has no way of preventing the word "livecast" from being mentioned in mail to its mailing lists. - jim -- jim mock <jim@jmock.com> work: jim@osd.bsdi.com | jim@FreeBSD.org http://soupnazi.org/ BSDi Open Source Div | http://bsdi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
