However it is a convention older than the public internet and one that is very common in mailing lists and universal on USENET. So since this is a mailing list it is a good idea for newcomers to be aware of the conventions and the reasons for them. These are not FreeBSD conventions, nor is asking people to follow it one, they are mailing list and USENET conventions older and wider than FreeBSD. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
