Good points...

The posting by Greg is also available online as an official FreeBSD
`article' at:

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

So you don't have to dig into the archives or wait for it to reappear in
the mailing list to read and enjoy it.

To the original poster: ``Welcome to -chat, and we'll also be happy to
have you in -questions :-)''
