Hackers is a fairly open forum anyway and the new newsgroups are actually pretty good technically so it would boost our presence if we got more traffic going through it. Note, I'm only talking about hackers and I'm only talking about hackers mail going to the newsgroup and not the other way around, we don't want all those Linux flames coming onto the mailing list. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
