Hi all (and compliments of the new year!) The preponderance of positive feedback that I have got back about the usefulness of this list has been very heartening. Thank you for your co-operation! There has been a small tendancy to slide towards Question-and-Answer. PLEASE do not do this - this is a _discussion_ list, not a help forum. Remember that Q&A is welcome as long as both the question and the answer are provided and these are submitted for possible inclusion into the FAQ. I plan to go through the archives and find FAQ items. I recall some folks being interested in helping here. Please contact me if you are still interested. I'll be doing this when I get back from vacation in a week or so. Certain questionable topics have also come up. Spam discussion is OK as long as it is security-oriented as well (plain old spam is _not_ a security issue, but a spam flood could be a DoS issue). For it to be discussable here, there needs to be an overwhelming _security_ focus that is of strong relevance to FreeBSD. Spamfighting has its own lists where spam tools and spam policy may be discussed. Ad-hominem attacks are specifically unwelcome. This is also true of other anti-social activities such as trolling, baiting, flaming and so forth.
