Agreed !  Many replies were sent to Wrong lists.

Original poster & respondents abused stable@ & questions@
	Cross posting 2 lists un-necessarily, despite:
		http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL
			"C.1.3 List Charters
			Rules of the road:
			No posting should be made to more than 2
			mailing lists, and only to 2 when a clear
			and obvious need ..."

		There was a desire, as always, but no need.  (so I
		removed cc: stable@ on this post, to avoid this
		post also breaking that rule, (on the basis that
		stable@ readership are more likely to already know
		about Not cross posting, & using the Right list,
		as questions@ started as a target list to point
		clueless new users to, from /etc/motd.  (It was
		expected as users grew experienced, they'd subscribe
		other lists themed to their interests.)))

	Noise was emitted to lists with wrong remits.
		advocacy@freebsd.org exists for promo. talk inc. re. wiki.

Please read list remits, & conform to them, & subscribe appropriate lists.
