This is an idea I have favoured for a long time, imho mailing lists with hundreds of messages per day are just an abuse of the medium, Usenet is an excellent vehicle for that kind of traffic. All the mailing lists that exist for so many products etc. kinda form an unorganized shadow Usenet that would better be folded into the real one (given that comp.unix.bsd.* does even exist) or use a seperate dedicated newsserver. --mkb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
