First, Please set your M$ emailer to wrap lines at 72 chars or so.
Second. This list is read by a huge amount of people not connected
directly to FreeBSD.org. There are some people closer connected, but the
majority is not. If you have a question that no one has an answer to,
you'll most certain get no answer. If you don't write anything proper in
the Subject line, you will most likely not get an answer, since many
people (that usually answers) will not read a mail that has no real
subject. So there is no "staff" of people that answers, just the crowd
happily using FreeBSD.
