Hehe. I think those people need to be committed. :-) But then again, as I recently pointed out on a different list, you cannot outlaw stupidity because being stupid is a fundamental human right. > The perl-dbi mailing list blocks posts from non-subscribers... I don't think that would work here. You can find it all over the FreeBSD web site: If you have such and such question, send email to such and such address. And all of those addresses are for mailing lists. Blocking posts from non-subscribers would mean a considerable shift in the ways FreeBSD provides tech support, or any other kind of support. > > Abusus non tollit usum. > > Semper Paratus. ;-) Let's not take this ad extremum! Just in case someone does not know what abusus non tollit usum means, it translates roughly: Abuse does not justify the taking away of legitimate use. I know that classical education is lacking in the US (or is it education in general?). As the director of our local theatre recently pointed out: It will be fun watching today's kids when they get older and learn that the greatest renaissance artist was named after a teenage mutant ninja turtle. :-) Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
