That's not hard to do. :) I chose to read that part of your message as if you had said, "Dear FreeBSD ports committers. In trying to contact the maintainer to report the problem I'm seeing with wordpress the e-mail that I sent to him bounced. Knowing the hard work that you already put into the ports system, and appreciating the consistently high standards with which you do this work, I am sure that you would want to know about this problem, and take steps to rectify it at your earliest convenience." Now I'm _not_ suggesting that every user who pings us about a bouncing e-mail address should have to write it out like that. But considering that I was lucky enough to have been born in the place whose language has become the more or less "lowest common denominator" for communication on the Internet I choose to always give people the benefit of the doubt. That's also why my own messages tend to be overly verbose, in that I try to make sure that I'm communicating in a way that cannot be misunderstood (even though I frequently fail). hth, Doug -- Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/ Computers are useless.
