Well personally I'm subscribed to at 20 different mailing lists. Many of them fairly high traffic. I almost always check the headers out of habit. Some of the lists I subscribe to are very picky about being on topic, so if you have to be careful not to post something that will go off topic. :) Rick ******************************************************************* Rick's FreeBSD Web page http://heorot.1nova.com/freebsd Ace Logan's Hardware Guide http://www.shatteredcrystal.net/hardware ***FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org On Sun, 15 Oct 2000, James A Wilde wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Rick Hamell > > Sent: Friday, October 13, 2000 09:52 > > To: Joe Warner > > Cc: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG; freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: Re: -newbies > > > This comment is not particularly directed to Rick, rather to the thread. > > Are there many people who actually know from which list a message comes?
