>Description:
There is a strange ":-" symbol in the FreeBSD FAQ, Question 3.11.
``Strange things happen when I boot the install floppy! What is
happening?'', Question 5.2. ``What do I do when I have bad blocks
on my hard drive?'' and Question 5.17. ``Why does Sendmail give me
an error reading "mail loops back to myself"?''.
I have never seen a symbol like this, and I think the author
original intention was to use only a colon. However, I am curious
about whether it means anything special :)
