Bad idea:
*Sometimes* - not always, as I have to admit - I buy a
FreeBSD-RELEASE CD Set. And on each of these CD's it says
Technical Support: questions@freebsd.org
and not
Technical Support: questions@freebsd.org and pay another 100 EURO

I think pushing the delete button on messages I do not want to
read is the price I have to pay for all the -Releases, -Stables
and -Currents I downloaded for free.

Regards,

Uli.
