BORED ! I wish this discussion was not here in this list ! I think that this is a discussion that _should_ belong on the list. I have interest in such discussions and should not have to belong to another list. If this becomes a reality then it certianly should be another list. But in the mean time... this list reaches a great many people that are interested in such a suggestion.... so the good of the many outweighs the good of the few ( or the one )... besides how hard is it to hit the 'd' key when you see the subject line ( that states it in obvious terms so that you do not even have to read the whole mail ) says BSD Consortium. > > I suggest we create a list called tmp@freebsd.org > subscription to this list should be open, not moderated, > ( to save postmaster at freefall any effort ) This is a bad thing.... this is the whole reason of having a mailing list... is to discuss such monthly issues. Besides ... who is going to subscribe to a list that is by it's very definition going to be cruft? No one... and so good ideas and issues will be lost to the whole. > > It is a poor defense of a thread to maintain it would die if moved to a > seperate list, `consortium' is getting boring for lots of us here I suspect, > & it won't be the last thread that starts to bore, so lets have tmp@freebsd. It is not boring for all of us and certianly not " lots of us" as the replies should have shown you. -branson -- MATHESON, E BRANSON E.B.MATHESON@LaRC.NASA.GOV Mail Stop 931 COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION NASA Langley Research Center Assigned to Operations Support Division Hampton, VA 23681-0001 Phone +1 804 864-9700
