DON'T expect postings to comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc to reach active
FreeBSD developers. Most of them despair of the signal/noise
ratio, and concentrate on reading the mailing lists.
DO use Usenet search engines such as DejaNews <URL:http://www.dejanews.com/>;
to search for information before posting. Searching for error
messages can be particularly informative.
