Thank you for that explanation. It might be a good idea to add this to point 6 of section 8 of

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd- questions/index.html

I was initially surprised by the conventions used on this list, but am growing more accustomed to them and trying to comply, even thought it isn't what I do for most of the lists I'm on.

Cheers,
