At least for the German region, i don't see an urgent need by now. We could perhaps create a _single_ German list, but everything else is probably overkill. The BSD topics are continuously present in de.comp.os.unix (which is not an overcrowded group at all, fortunately). Should we consider creating such a list some day, i strongly vote for aliasing @de.freebsd.org to some German university's mailing list server, to avoid transatlantic traffic where possible. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
