No, I was just pointing out a coincidence that I found humorous -- I started work on an application, and found myself wishing for a list where I could pick the brains of other FreeBSD app developers, then a few weeks later find that list in existence, with the same name as the working abbreviation I'd been using. My app's name probably won't even stick around if someone can come up with something better. :) -- Brian Buchanan brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org daemon(n): 1. an attendant power or spirit : GENIUS 2. the cute little mascot of the FreeBSD operating system To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
