Hi Mark,

we should all consider your emails, with explanations, complaints, 
investigations, etc, as contributions, even if sometimes a bit noisy. 
The lists would be much quieter and probably less interesting without 
them. If you ever worry about hogging CPU cycles or bandwidth, consider 
donating a few dollars to the FreeBSD Foundation.

So don’t hold back, keep sharing your thoughts, and thanks for keeping 
the lists lively and energized !

Cheers,
Marek
