Is it only my perception???? Is this inevitable with an increase in popularity of freebsd ( the internet was so nice and quite in the early 80's :-) ) I am concerned that we may begin to lose freebsd contributors on the list. Its just an observation..... Jim (struggling into asbestos underwear) Leppek
