This is a bad idea IMO. Some newer folks that pick up the Bt848 driver or some FreeBSD util and have trouble with it want to mail a question without signing up for a mailing list, waiting until they know they're getting the messages, post the question, accumulate a bunch of irrelevent list mail, get their answer, and then unsubscribe. They'll more likely just drop the driver/utility, forget the problem, and go onto something else. That's what we'll be encouraging. Don't forget that not everyone has an ISP that let's them accumulate the mail traffic some mailing lists produce, even if they're willing to put up with the inconvenience of subscribe/wait/post/wait/unsubscribe/clean house. I do this same thing with various S/W I use. Do the few Windoze posts we get here from time to time annoy you that much? Hey man, relax and take a vacation. ;-) Randall To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
