However, how many "normal users" would you expect to be subscribing to the freebsd-current mailing list? If this is a current versus stable versus release issue, I think we can all agree that most users are clueless enough that they can't even figure out how to send e-mail to the freebsd-questions mailing list, much less anything else. So, you are either forced to change your definition of "normal users" to be people who would be subscribing to this list (and hopefully contributing in some way) and you have to acknowledge that change in definition, or you have to change the term that you use. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
