I have always found the description of freebsd-questions a real turn-off. In fact, when I was a clueless newbie this haiku in negative terms made me avoid using freebsd-questions. Now that I'm just a newbie it makes me shrug. We've been here before. Apparently the description makes perfect sense to everyone else so I'm just a mutant. Fine. I've got emails here from several other mutants who insist they understood the description to mean keep out. This flag's pretty tattered now. I give up. Almost. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
