[1] I am in no way associated with the FreeBSD Project or Foundation, nor
America Online, not Time-Warner, etc.  I am not a lawyer, nor a doctor, and
I have never "acted" like anything but myself when on television....

[2] I am in no wise recommending that anyone **else** add this address to
    their "killfile".

[3] If you need help in configuring message rules for your particular
MUA, there are lots of _nice_ folks on the lists who will be happy to
give assistance...
