There is a document (about these specific mailing lists) that suggest to put it at the bottom. (I'll continue doing so.) I feel it would be better to simply place them at the bottom.

There are a lot of detailed questions with simple answers. I don't see way this couldn't apply to this one. I waited a couple of days (just as a other writing suggested) for someone to come up with a better answer. Since no one did I gave my thoughts. (http://www.lemis.com/questions.html#answer number 5) Nobody is perfect. This include you and me! I feel that you make to much fuss out of this. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
