ACK.

Excerpt from send-pr:
SEND-PR: BE ADVISED THAT FREEBSD PROBLEM REPORTS ARE PUBLIC INFORMATION 
AND
SEND-PR: WILL BE PUBLISHED AS-IS ON THE PROJECT'S MAILING LISTS AND WEB 
SITES.
SEND-PR: DO NOT SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION YOU DO NOT WANT MADE PUBLIC.

maybe we should add something like: YES, THIS INCLUDES YOUR 
EMAIL-ADDRESS!!!1
