A fair guess, but it wouldn't indicate CTM usage well, as we only use the ctm@ list to discuss if something breaks, or to warn if a server will go out for maintenance. more misleading still: the ctm-announce@ list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/ctm-announce hasnt been used in years, because Stephen doesnt have write access to it. I did write someone years back asking that Stephen be given write access, but it slipped between the cracks. If anyone fixes that to give Stephen Montgomery Smith write access to ctm-announce, it would be nice if you consider giving me write access too to ctm-announce@ as I occasionaly announce server outages eg https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/ctm-users/2018-September/000526.html Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, Computer Consultant, Systems Engineer, BSD Linux Unix, Munich.
