I did read the original message. The place for > these messages exists and is called freebsd-chat. That isn't the way I read the charter for -chat. It looks like a catchall for *nontechnical* issues. Is looking for some specific application - or having problems with a third-party app - a nontechnical issue? In particular, do we want people trying to get an answer to such a question to have to wade through, for instance, discussion about whether Jordan looks like a toon ferret or not, to get it? Either a new list, or a (rather minor, actually) broadening of the charter for questions to include these issues would certainly be a better solution. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
