Thanks for your observations.  It seems to me that because very
few people actively post to the list (as is the nature of _most_
mailing lists, in my experience) it is easy to forget that there
are many silent eyes watching.  I'm guilty of that myself most of
the time.

Nik's proposed the addition of a some more lists, namely questions@,
chat@, and announce at .  I've got no problems in setting these if we're
in general agreement that they'll be useful.  Do you have any other
suggestions as to how we can modify the infrastructure to best support
the growing number of FreeBSD professionals in the UK?
