If you supply your email address to an organisation, don't be surprised if they, or their heirs, use it to send you information which they think you ought to have. I too found this email useful, and wouldn't have objected if I had not. It reminded me that I'd heard nothing about my 4.3 FreeBSD CD subscription, and that JKH had mentioned some problems with CD distribution. An email to the contact address unstuck things for me. I received an email dispatch notice soon afterwards.

Junkfilter helps to keep me sane. -- Adrian Wontroba To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
