i wonder why mailing list keeps being our main method contacting even the newsgroup is better organized? I often find that i cannot make the thread clear. And if we use newsgroup i can choose wheather to download a message while using mailing list i must download it frist. And i have to subscrib it before being able to view and send any thing, and i cannot search old posts (you can use google to search any old newsgroup messege). In microsoft newgroup i often get the reply like "someone asked this decades ago, search for 'WMI' and 'shutdown computer' in google you get the answer", it make MVPs easier to answer those question that had perviously replyed, and plp can thus search for tips through google before they ask. I know comp.unix.bsd.freebsd but i cannot find any free news-server who maintain this newsgroup. unlike news.microsoft.com, i find there is no news.freebsd.org. Can any one show me one? _________________________________________________________________ Ãâ·ÑÏÂÔØ MSN Explorer£ºhttp://explorer.msn.com/lccn/intl.asp¡£ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
