>Description:
	The current description of the "hat-holder" for Postmaster@
	(in "A project model for the FreeBSD Project", ch. 5 ("Hats")
	leads some folks to try to contact <dhw@freebsd.org> directly
	for Postmaster-related issues, when it would almost(?) always be
	better for them to use <postmaster@freebsd.org>.

	Reasons for this include:
	* dhw@ is one individual, and is thus a single point of failure.
	  postmaster@ is a team (currently, of three active members).

	* I apply rather different mail filtering rules to mail
	  addressed to dhw@ vs. postmaster@.  (E.g., mail that is not
	  about mail-handling @FreeBSD.org that I receive and is
	  addressed to postmaster@FreeBSD.org is nearly always
	  considered "confirmed spam"; my mail client color-codes mail
	  sent to postmaster@ uniquely so I can keep an eye out for it.)

	* Mail sent to postmaster@ is automagically archived on hub, so
	  even if something happens to it such that the team members
	  ignore or discard it, we still have a record of it.

 Does this mean that the information on=20
 http://www.FreeBSD.org/administration.html needs to be updated, too?  Becau=
 se=20
 there we have four members in the "Postmaster Team".

 It's technically correct as-is; jmb@ hasn't been "active" as postmaster
 for the last decade or so.  :-}
 
 Also, hat citation is less of a concern, as it does specify the email
 address for the entire team, while the "Hats" chapter in question did
 not.  So I intended to change the latter to resemble other teams in the
 same document.
 
 Thanks!
 
 Peace,
