Hello World,

We had a minor accident on march 6th 17:24 (freefall time) and lost all of
the mailing lists.  These have now, march 6th 23:00 (freefall time) been
restored from the backup from this morning march 6th 05:30 (freefall time).

This means:

1) any mail sent to any list @freebsd.org between 17:24 and 23:00 is
lost, and must be retransmitted (if it was significant)

2) any changes to the lists during today was lost.  You can send an
an email to "majordomo at freebsd.org" with a body of one line saying
	"which"
or
	"which my at address.com"
and it will tell you what lists you are on.

3) our backups work! :-)

I would like to stress that there is no evidence or reason to suspect
malicious intent or activities.  I guess we can all use more sleep.
I havn't heard the story yet, but I'm sure given time and opportunity,
we will have a good laugh about it, (unless it's a bug in a perl script :)
At least i expect somebody to pay me a beer some time... <-- HINT!

I would like to thank Satoshi, for noticing and warning me about it,
and Gary for the backup which saved us, Thanks guys!

PS:
	freefall time is mostly UTC-0800.
