At least put a note up about that then.  If people go to connect to
ftp.freebsd.org and get connection refused or a DNS lookup that will scare them
even more.  Why not just put the text of your mail to -announce up in the
newsflash section?  Also, FWIW, Neil Blakely-Milner (sp?) had a sample of a new
frontpage that trimmed some of the text and had the last 4 or 5 items from
newsflash on the bottom.  That would be a very nice addition if we could find a
nice way of doing that.
