I can empathize, and I therefore also like the idea of a News server - ideally one with groups that are gatewayed to the e-mail lists (and vice versa). I only recently joined a couple of the FreeBSD lists (-questions, -current, maybe -announce [don't remember for sure right now]) and am experiencing the same situation as stated directly above by Mr. Chapman. Having stuff pushed to me is nice, but there's a limit as to how much niceness I can take.... :) chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
