In fact, I hate it. I can't read by thread or anything. It = also appears snobbish. One can only see what going on if one has subscribed to= a mailing list. Many times I stumble across an interesting group in comp be= cause I was looking for something else. Who is going to stumble across a mailin= g list? That's why an inferior system like LiGnux gets so much new users. W= e need to be more vocal. I apologize in advance for the formatting of my message. I can't access m= y SMTP server from work so I have to use HTTP-based mail services. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.amexmail.com/?A=3D1= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
