Sorry to see you go. Luckily the 5 pieces of spam mail we've had are the exception, not the rule. In fact... I think those would be the first ones I've seen on this list. Now, someone else asked why the list isn't filtered better. The problem is that most the FreeBSD lists are help lists. They're meant to give people who have a one time question the place to ask it without having to subscribe and get 1000 extra non-related messages. > Let's hope we don't have to live with it!

No... for the reason above. They're pretty much open lists. Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
