This is just a observation, based on the header that shows the mua the message was sent from. In the 7 lists I read, all bsd or *nix related, I found aproximately 1/3 of the messages come from windoze based pc's. Some messages don't show the mailer information, some show the name but not the OS, so I ignored those. I just find it interesting to see such a large percentage coming from non-*nix machines in newsgroups about *nix OS's. I had some free time finally, and used it counting header info. Oh boy. :-) About 335 messages out of around 1000 were from windoze mailers. Anyway, just an observation, something to chat about, Regards, -- Chip Wiegand Alternative Operating Systems www.wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
