In that light, if anyone connects to usenet, and probagates the freebsd.* groups they should get an rmgroup. Of course the servers want won't honor the rmgroup, but the rest of USENET will. Connecting to USENET opens everything up to spammers. If they refuse to propagate our groups, that is good for us. (I'm not trying to say that USENET is bad, but for those who want it stick to comp.os.freebsd or whatever it is called now) -- http://blugill.home.ml.org/ hank@black-hole.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
