There is no such thing. In fact there aren't any employees. FreeBSD is written and maintained by volunteers (tho a few are fortunate that their employers where-ever they work consider their contribution to FreeBSD to be valid parts of their jobs). Anyway there is no central FreeBSD staff and the Email list is responded to voluntarily by the subscribers, like yourself, who have subscribed to the list to learn and contribute. ////jerry > > Smile! > jay >
