While you have to go online to get mail you could also visit the forum. Surely you do browse the web anyway? Think of the thousands of e-mails that wouldn't have to be sent, only to be deleted anyway. I don't subscribe to -stable, -current, -questions or -chat just because of the wasted time deleting hundreds of posts that are of no interest. I'd like to read them, and I surely can use the web-archive but as I already said you have to send an e-mail to post. Just as modern browsers can remember logins and passwords some also allow you to "work offline" IE and Netscape (the 2 most popular) at least, surely others. As for searching, IE and Netscape also have a "find" (find in page or find on this page) feature. Welcome to the 21st century. I don't know that SPAM isn't a security concern. I don't want spammers on or using my network. That's what this thread was about. Ways of dealing with them. I certainly don't want to cross-post to -chat or any other list whether I'm subscribed or not. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Ben Smithurst > Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 11:40 PM > To: oldfart@gtonet > Subject: Re: Donation For Earthquake Relief Work > > > oldfart@gtonet wrote: > > > Personally, I'd like to see the lists moved to a web bulletin board > > type forum. > > You're joking, right? > > How do you suggest we download all the messages on a web-based bullein > board and read them offline?
