Over the last week or so, -hackers has turned into something of a sewer and I, for one, am about to unsubscribe due to the extremely LOW signal-to-noise ratio now present in this list. *Please* folks, remember the mailing list charters! This mailing list is for technical discussion relating to FreeBSD, it is not for the discussion of black helicopters in Israel, sheep cloning or questions about which modem to buy, such discussions only detracting from the lists' intended purpose and scaring the people with actual technical content into simply taking their discussions off-line (or unsubscribing from -hackers altogether, as I'm about to do). So, to summarize: If you want to talk about black helicopters, send it to freebsd-chat@freebsd.org. If you want to talk about modems, send it to freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org unless said modems have nothing to do with FreeBSD at all, in which case you might either raise it in -chat or in a very *short* thread in freebsd-isp. Better still, go to comp.dcom.modems with it. If you have a general FreeBSD question, send it to questions@freebsd.org And above all, if you see a topic veering out of control, *check the headers* before following up! In a lot of cases, I'll take someone to task over their wholly irrelevant postings and they'll respond with "Oh, well, it was on the cc line and I didn't pay any attention to it." SO PAY ATTENTION! :-) You're still responsible for where your postings go, whether you originally set the cc line or not. Thank you! Jordan
