I used to. I got so little through the "it's not Linux" filter I gave up.
I know Rob has said many times he'd like to cover FreeBSD more, but
apparently that message hasn't filtered down to the zealots that throw
away 90% of the BSD-related postings.
On a separate note, I noticed a couple of late panic reactions to the
recent FreeBSD Security Advisory on FTP servers. Should we be gating all
*BSD Security Advisories and official announcements to daily? It strikes
me as a good way to help get the news out.
Perhaps we could get a volunteer from each project, or just get daily
added to the correct mailing lists.
