Something similar on the web pages would be good, except that people looking at the web pages have no idea that each mailto: is broadcasting to a mailing list rather than an individual. I suspect that's where a lot of the more tedious and embarrassing questions are coming from. Perhaps something prominent on the web site like: Please see http://www.freebsd.org/releases/ for up-to-the-minute errata and security advisories. Please also check the mailing list archives http://www.freebsd.org/search.html before seeking technical assistance from the FreeBSD Questions mailing list (questions@freebsd.org). -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
