I don't know the official list rule (guess I could go read it) but I like to see a message noting something is solved and some info - a brief summary on how it was solved. I don't think it is a waste of time unless you go on and on with personal details that don't really pertain to the solution. ////jerry > > Thanx, > > -- > Pietro Cerutti > > > Beansidhe - SwiSS Death / Thrash Metal > > > Windows: "Where do you want to go today?" > Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" > FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming or what?" > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >
