Description setantae 2002-03-05 16:20:00 UTC 
The newsletter is dead (jkh confirmed this to me).
http://www.freebsd.org/publish.html still encourages people to visit
http://www.freebsd.org/register.html and enter their details to receive
the next edition of the newsletter by post.
This is never going to happen, and nik@FreeBSD.org tells me that he
knows of no reason why this information should continue to be collected.

This patch kills mention of registering for the newsletter, and replaces
the registration page with a simple form that merely subscribes and/or
unsubscribes users to the announce and security-notification lists.

Ceri

How-To-Repeat: 	
Visit http://www.FreeBSD.org/publish.html and try and sign up to receive
the newsletter.
