-<para>The blfs-support list is for the BLFS Book and beyond.
-
-It includes requests for help following the BLFS Book,
-requests for help with packages not (yet) in
-either the LFS Book or the BLFS Book,
-and other requests and discussion concerning software
-that might be installed on an LFS system.
-
-It does not include topics such as
-the price of beer, what hardware to buy,
-or GNU versus BSD or Microsoft versus Linux flame wars.
-These belong on lfs-chat,
-and since blfs-support is high traffic,
-please follow this rule strictly.
