You're kidding. A whole bunch of folk, all dedicated to an OS, and nobody's
got patch archives?? *Sheesh*

OK, I'll take the addy (what's the convention, initials? Mine are "djhjr").
The freebsd.org mailserver is POP3able, right?
But I'll swap the coupons for daemon PC badges. I don't do over-the-counter
drugs. All right, all right. A twelve-pack of Guiness. In cans; the bottled

That'll be the time-consuming part. Not the posting of 'em, but describing
'em. I want that part to be as concise as possible.
You don't mind if a few others weight in, do you? I can spell, but I'd like
opinion on the language vis-a-vis the targetted audience. And some legal
kinda guy or girl. I don't know if the disclaimer is adequate protection.
