Your FreeBSD question is... What exactly? Lady, this is just a mailing list. It has no hierarchy and no system of control and thus supports nothing except for people that need help with the FreeBSD operating system. Everybody on this list is a volunteer. What press release did you read that stated anything like "FreeBSD-Questions mailing list supports Yahoo's decision to include internet pornography."? I am sure that we are all unaware of any such support. If I recall correctly, Yahoo still uses FreeBSD as their operating system. One of the reasons that companies choose software like FreeBSD over something like Windows is so no central organization will have control over them through their proprietary product. Therefore this mailing list neither has said "influence" nor wants any power over any company or individual that uses FreeBSD. Furthermore, if you will read the name of the mailing list, you will probably be able to derive that it is for questions about FreeBSD only. Your post is among the most offtopic I have ever seen, and offtopic posts are not welcome on any mailing list and are refered to as "Spam", which I am sure that you have heard about. Because you feel the need to spam the mailing list, I would like to take this opportunity to unsubscribe it to your spam list. If we need to put "unsubscribe questions@freebsd.org" in the subject, please do this for us. Thankyou. Please go away. >From: Madeline Haggans <MHaggans@afsc.org> >To: "'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG'" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> >Subject: Pornography on Yahoo >Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 12:41:34 -0400 > > I am horrified at Yahoo's decision to promote pornography on its website >and don't understand your willingness to support their decision As a >partner >to the Yahoo company I am writing to ask you to use your influence to stop >Yahoo from promoting pornographic material on it web site. > >Thank you, > >Madeline Haggans > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
