Description david 2005-04-24 14:50:18 UTC 
	The page at
	<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL>
	refers the reader to the freebsd-newbies mailing list.  A
	couple of weeks ago, core@ sent word to postmaster@freebsd.org
	(that would be me) informing me that core@ had decided that
	the list was no longer to be used.

	Accordingly, no messages have been sent to it for the last
	2 weeks, and I have rejected all requests to subscribe to
	it in that time (directing folks to use the freebsd-questions
	list instead, of course).

	I think the time has come to update the Web page to remove
	the "attractive nuisance."

Fix: Here you go.  I didn't check anywhere other than en_US.ISO8859-1,
	though:

How-To-Repeat: 	Direct a Web browser of choice to
	<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL>
	and look for information about available mailing lists at
	FreeBSD.org; in particular, note that freebsd-newbies is
	listed.  Given the above-cited decision and treatment of
	the list, this should not be the case.
