I take you word for it. I didn't realy mean to fight this. More the mirroring (excluded www.xx.freebsd.org) like google and such. > Another thing, I do not really see many ways to discover the existence > of a FreeBSD mailing list: > > - from archives via google or the FreeBSD.org search system > - from FreeBSD.org docs > - from the www.FreeBSD.org front page > - from a clairvoyant? > > and these ways (at least most of them) clearly indicate the existence of > archives. > Anyway, it's just a false problem, it makes me think about a person > going to a TV show then later refusing to have "his face" recorded and > broadcasted... Sending a mail to a maillinglist means sending thousend of copies to the subscribers. This is a natural thing just like going on a TV show means it going to be broadcast. But having it go into a archive is not a natural thing. Thats way a user should be pointed to this. (As is the case.) This is also true for the mirroring to other non freebsd related sites like google. I beleave this is not the case. -- Alex _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
