Yeah, I was so excited to see the list I sent the message to -advocacy before I clicked on any of the links. What a crock. As if they couldn't make enough by throwing banner ads in your face. It does, at least, give us an idea of the coverage we're getting. This list had a lot of duplicates, so their search engine isn't particularly good, but we're getting coverage in places I'd never imagined, like MacWorld. With a little effort from -advocacy, maybe we can double or triple this. By the way, whenever you're reading your favorite e-zine, click on a couple of ads just to keep the juices flowing. That way, your e-zines will stick around. Most companies can't track sales related to adds, just raw clicks from ads. ;^) -- Wes Peters Who's going to save you Principal Engineer When you're a slave to Xylan Corporation A diamond as big as the Ritz wpeters@xylan.com -- Jimmy Buffett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
