Good idea, interesting topics on that page, 
but that domain is bad for reasons starred (***):

*** Google is sniffing IP numbers, & stupidly setting various section
headings to German here, eg:
        top right blue `Anmelden' button

        BSDCan hat Folgendes ursprünglich geteilt:
My browser has a German IP number,  but no Lang. env vars, as confirmed by:
        http://www.berklix.net/cgi-bin/printenv
                HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE="en-us,en;q=0.5"
                REMOTE_HOST="p5dcbcd73.dip0.t-ipconnect.de"
                TZ="Europe/Berlin"

I wont report it to google:
***     I dont work free for giant monopolies.
        Seems to be [or include, or only be] a web forum ?,
                I gave up trying to find out, clicking beyond that page was
***     Agonisingly slow to google, as usual from here)
        I prefer plain mail lists, not on line web forums.
        If I wanted a platform neutral mail list 
***     I'd prefer a non commercial base that didnt harvest,

I looked on http://allbsd.de/mailingliste/index.html
        As one potential site, which won't have NSA spies (maybe
        BND .de instead ;-), but much less likely & easily a lot
        less hungry than NSA) & not a monopoly, not a commercial
        harvester) but lists were only in German last time I looked,
        I recall (so far, but they wouldnt mind creating one I
        think), but all links broken to mailman currently, eg
        http://mail.allbsd.de/mailman/listinfo/allbsd-misc (error
        reported).

I guess any mainstream (or minor) *bsd.org could create an allbsd@
        plain list if wanted, drivable by mailman or majordomo. But
        I guess it could be better to keep it off a specific-bsd.org
        to avoid suspicion of bias.  I too could create an allbsd@
        list on my majordomo%berklix.org@localhost If people asked, & If there
        was none elsewhere already ? (disclaimer I use FreeBSD, & have
        used & credit NetBSD etc eg for urtwn0: & have used OpenBSD &
        helped distribut PC-BSD etc).

Is there a similar plain text allbsd@ list on some non-commercial
non- NSA- site, not needing a web forum ? If so, I'd subscribe.

Cheers,
Julian
