There was one place I was thinking of adding a reference to the one defined entity (would have gone in the README file in the release documentation). There's another group too, analogous to our -announce list: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.announce. Last time I looked, the newsgroup is still there, but I personally am without USENET access for the first time in fourteen years. > Any objections to removing that? I think this is one of those things where I *might* use it, but if you nuked the file that defined the entity, I'd either just forget about it or I'd mark up the text manually. That's a long-winded way of saying I guess it doesn't matter much to me. :-) Cheers, Bruce. --==_Exmh_-74306176P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Exmh version 2.3.1+ 05/14/2001 iD8DBQE7e17g2MoxcVugUsMRAmxjAJ4+eHAp//qceueSnOXpHOFUrVUMKACg30ts PJPhHQpu/wqZc1Vz3drPxpQ= =dmqC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_-74306176P-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
