Brett, I have removed and filtered about half a dozen people from the lists over the last five or so years. The FreeBSD mailing lists are reserved for the use of the FreeBSD community. That community expresses its will via the core team, especially once the elections are completed in a few days. The community has the right to select its membership. If enough people call for the ouster of a single person. I will remove that person. I dont like doing it. I have done it before, and I will do it again, if necessary. jmb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
