My companies firewall/proxies (considering that I end up going through 2) do not allow me to read external newsgroups.

I'm kinda glad it's a mailing list. My net admins have clamped down on news

Just curious (and forgive me if this is one of those holy war kind of questions - I don't mean to be flame-bait). Is there a reason this is a mailing list instead of a newsgroup?

(Getting 3+ digests per day (unthreaded) is kind of cumbersome and doesn't seem like the most efficient system....) I just joined the digest list a week or so ago, and it's been very useful, but a bit awkward to read through. Many BSD releated newsgroups get significantly less message volume than

this list. Thanks ============= Matthew Rochlin 708 Nowita Place Venice, CA 90291 v. (310) 821-1819 f. (240) 220-5634
