Well, there are many other messages sent to announce that are only relevant to 99% of the users, so I don't know what they are complaining about. As for the size, I don't remember the size of the last mail but I don't think it was *that* big. * So I think we should setup a moderated freebsd-port-announce * mailing list. (rolling eyes) Why don't you just post a URL to freebsd-announce and put the main thing on the web? You can even be cuter and make hyperlinks and stuff. -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
