Possible issues with FreeBSD ports ML?

[Kevin Oberman]

Philip,

Thanks so much for your time. I don't know if anything was ever wrong or
almost everyone on mailing lists just took a couple of days off, but
traffic volume on the lists now looks completely normal and I received no
responses of lost posts to ports.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at it and sorry for the noise.
