FWIW. The bsd-advocacy list is an "only members can post" list, which is a nice way to fight spam. But, cross-posting is nasty. I just hit 'g' in mutt to reply to a crosspost. The message reached freebsd-advocacy fine, but I got a reply back from the bsd-advocacy list manager saying "Your message awaits moderator approval". I'm not one who likes forcing his opinion on the bsd-advocacy owner(s), but everyone should either discuss things here (in freebsd-advocacy) or there (on bsd-advocacy). I'd probably prefer the former list though, since the freebsd-advocacy list is open to everyone and the occasional lurker who reads threads but doesn't reply to each and every post might have things to post that are well thought out and worthy of mentioning/discussing. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
