Re: subscribe
If I somehow cc'd the mailing list on this then I made a mistake which I don't usually make. These messages, when I'm watching the headers correctly, are always sent privately. - Jordan > On Monday, 26 June 2000 at 15:43:47 -0700, Jordan K.

Nope. Somehow I got copied on this message, though I'm damned if I know why. The real issue is that you're telling the wrong person (with one exception). I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to catch these messages and DWHM.

> SUBSCRIBE [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message If you're receiving this message, it's because you just sent a "subscribe" message erroneously to one of our mailing lists, resulting in thousands (and, in some cases, tens of thousands) of people seeing a "subscribe me" message in their mailboxes when they have absolutely nothing to do with the process of adding users like yourself to our mailing lists. This is a poor introduction, at best, and what we really suggest to people is that they read our mailing list FAQ at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL Paying particular attention to section 27.1.2: "How to subscribe." You should also be very sure to read section 27.1.3 as well, the mailing list charters. These describe very precisely just how each mailing list may be used and the range of topics allowed for each one. This will help you from making the SECOND most common new user mistake which is to post messages on subject A incorrectly to a mailing list devoted exclusively to the discussion of subject B. The FreeBSD mailing lists have gotten simply huge, with discussion traffic often exceeding 500,000 messages a week, and your cooperation is greatly appreciated in trying to keep the "noise level" down to manageable proportions so that those actually involved in project development, as well as the users of the project, can remain active members of the mailing lists. Thank you. Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
