Whether or not the site is accessible via FreeBSD.com is > irrelevant. I don't mean personal criticism of any one person. But ... There's Far too much idle chat on advocacy@. Some should subscribe chat@, & some of us should direct windy threads & people to chat@ http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat Noise to signal ratio on advocacy@ remains so high I'm considering unsubscribing again, unfortunate as I'm interested in Practical BSD advocacy ( Created a BSD-UG, initiated BSD leaflet for exhibitions, organised BSD stands etc http://berklix.org/bim/leaflet/ ). Advocacy@ should contain only what Helps BSD Advocacy, eg: "Who will help man a BSD stand in _Your_City_ in 2 weeks ?" "Who will help man a BSD install event in _Your_City_ in 2 weeks ?" "Who will co-author a BSD book ?" "Here's a _maintained_ URL, to print/forward to acquaintances who ask the eternal question: "Why use BSD rather than Linux ?"" No defocused chat on advocacy@ please. _Please_ chat on chat@ !! - Julian Stacey Net & Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Mail in Ascii (Html=Spam).
