No, that would be impossible. Hint: third-party mirrors (i.e. Google). This is a recurring theme. It's really *NOT* the fault of the postmaster of FreeBSD.org that you posted to public mailing lists. The Handbook section about mailing lists[1] says: | Before posting to any list, please learn about how to best use the | mailing lists, such as how to help avoid frequently-repeated | discussions, by reading the Mailing List Frequently Asked Questions | (FAQ) document[2]. | | Archives are kept for all of the mailing lists and can be searched | using the FreeBSD World Wide Web server. The keyword searchable | archive offers an excellent way of finding answers to frequently asked | questions and should be consulted before posting a question.
