I suppose that to the extent this is appropriate for any FreeBSD mailing
list, -chat@ would be it....  :-{

A salient bit of evidence for the latter (which I admit that not all are
privy to, so I'll share it):

hub(4.9-S)[1] grep -i '^staff:' /etc/aliases
hub(4.9-S)[2] 

I.e., there is no valid "staff at freebsd.org" email address.

And please direct queries about mail @FreeBSD.org to
postmaster at freebsd.org or (failing that -- I do get behind sometimes)
admin at freebsd.org.  Please do not send to both -- I'm on both lists, and
duplicate mail is not high on my list of "must-have" items.

And please use discretion.  I'd rather have my mailbox cluttered than
have the lists cluttered, but I do have limits as well....  :-}

Peace,
david       (current hat: postmaster at freebsd.org)
