You're right, things get lost. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=misc%2F26744 it's PR misc/26744 Note the long audit trail, it was political. Probably you would want to delete the preamble from the FAQ entry as it is redundant and political. But, note in particular the entry made Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 01:36:15 -0700 which states: "Modify http://www.freebsd.org/support.html as to the following..." That was ready to install into the page and not political either. I'll be honest Greg - I think this didn't go anywhere because it's long, and people seem to think there's now an unbreakable law that says all electronic writing must not exceed 2 sentences in length. Simply put, no one read the damn thing completely through. > >> And we still occasionally are getting irritated posts from people >> that can't subscribe.
