This list cannot ever be all things to all people. No list can. All of the FreeBSD mailing lists have different functions. Like the others, this list is for the people who happen to want what it offers and are prepared to participate within those parameters. Perhaps the most important of all the lists is FreeBSD-questions, especially for newbies. There is no need to have another list in direct competition. Go there for your cake and come back here if you want to get the icing too. Now can we please drop this and get on with the more important business of enjoying the things that we do while we're not being supported. -- Regards, -*Sue*- find / -name "*.conf" |more To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
