I don't buy that. How many off-topic commercial posts will you tolerate on the list before you consider it a problem? If it exists at a small scale, the opportunity exists for it to exist at a large scale. If we can come up with a way of avoiding posts like this when they're infrequent enough not to be excessively annoying, then we can avoid the escalation altogether. But this is off-topic for this list. Perhaps we should start a list for it. freebsd-abuse, anyone? -- Paul Chvostek Operations / Development vox: +1 416 598 0000 IT Canada http://www.it.ca/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
