I assure you I was not trying to start a problem. I tried emailing freebsd-doc@freebsd.org
on 2/17/03 and I got the below error message. I think I have actually tried doc@freebsd.org
in the past and also got an error message but I am not sure.
Can you give me any other email addresses to try? I would really like to hear from someone at
freebsd directly who knows why it was used.
If not I might try doc@freebsd.org again.
It would dissappoint me if a flame war started over simply asking a question. Since this may be
the case, maybe if anyone else wants to respond to me they can do so to me directly?
No need to start a problem on this list.
