(subject changed and cc's trimmed) Hmm... yes, this is a problem. Businesspeople definitely care about these things. Is there a NYC BUG? Perhaps you might ask for some sort of mail forwarder from freebsd.org for, say, nycbug@freebsd.org. Minimizes system load and administrator load at freebsd.org, and it's not focused on any one person. After all, the committers need *some* sort of perks. ;) ==ml To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
