In keeping with my 'KISS' principal, why not simply start a new list, appropriately titled: "FreeBSD vs. Linux". In order to insure a viable user base, follow the same procedure as the the regular FreeBSD questions list and allow postings sans any preregistration. I belong to other forums where a similar technique is used to route messages to the appropriate message board. I assume it is technologically possible to implement that on FreeBSD. I know Linux and Microsoft boards that employ that procedure. :) --=20 Jerry --Sig_/aXhFQYa8FXbhV9t6yPg2Uz8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl8erMwACgkQOHMGOIfe xWRDzQf/SRIqNZlpRX98xhFQbnvfm4dnC5k4mTuea6YawosFN3AlNDefQbgG00my olZH8fv9TbCo5kKeW9nVxmkn9xxKZbzU6Ubfe8bp7wzJcfsuuIv4vYPV7Z0JnaVm 2AtZsz03N6dh5U3fSEjalSoAy9MsnuXkWXnlUCoX+QxQ9X2KM1sdbdzMhNhxACNP 6Kg3LtC4ZqFPON8I+LBOEz8HvM38aoPpoiPbYrgLN/4RrruSpnxKrgId1SNaCzQZ 0enFi3yABmvX+Ck3iSa4BW+ZojQFipElXi0E8TrkfvTDfyMxXpPl5kjdnAMjD/X4 gKCb3M8Vfnzx30AgGcI4Fx/MFBaG7A== =ha/X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/aXhFQYa8FXbhV9t6yPg2Uz8--
