Useless and harmful list, IMO. People who can 'lost' announcements here
likely lose it on another list,  but there is a chance that people who
read ports@ lose announce/CFT from _only_ freebsd-ports-announce.
Of course, you can write to multiple lists.. But lets look at current@
stable@ and performance@ archives...
tadam! "Benchmark (Phoronix): FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 vs. Oracle Linux 6.1
Server". 

Is that ok ? I think 'No' ( Tons of spam in [ 3 of N ] ML that I
subscribed )
