It's good that other people are referring people to the Diary. I consider that a compliement. And point taken. The difference between the existing references and my single post would be that my message would include which new articles had been added in the past week. I hope that a separate message, appropriately titled, might prompt people to read the message. As opposed to deleting a thread because it's titled "I can't get my cd-rom to work". > Given that you're not even subscribed to the list, I would have some > reservations about an advertisement for your site being posted to the > list. However I'm sure that I will be in the minority. I'ts my turn to rephrase. I am subscribed to the list *now*. I had been absent for some months because of other commitments. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited [I'm looking for more work] http://www.dvl-software.com/ | http://www.unixathome.org/ http://www.racingsystem.com/ | http://www.freebsddiary.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
