If an OS wants to show (off) that "manly", then leave only 2 lists : -hackers, and -current, (ok and -stable for the incompetent poor users). If, on the other hand, by this way, you want to express some "call for arms" for potential FreeBSD kernel/port developers,(fishing them from these "light" lists), then i doubt you choose the right way. > > Regards, > > Giorgos > -- -Achilleus
