[ i've added .announce to the newsgroups line, because this is somewhat
of a statement of policy re: my moderation of the .announce group.

That editing job was done by me, and me only, in my shoes as
moderator of comp.os.386bsd.announce.
it was in response to Andrew Moore's use of "BSD" rather than
FreeBSD. using BSD alone is obviously not correct, and as an
editor, i can't ethically modify his post without noting my
modifications.
If people are going to post things to .announce which are
too vague, i'll feel free to clarify them as appropriate,
if i know what's going on. If i can't do that (or the authors
request that i don't), i'll reject the articles.
In this case, i did the editing and got the article out
the door, because Andrew indicated that the article was
of a somewhat time-critical nature.
