It helps in promoting OpenBSD. And this is the official

It helps in promoting OpenBSD. And this is the official
purpose of the advocasy mailing list.
So I think that announcements of ComixWall releases could go

This is just silly. If you make a firewall distribution to "promote
OpenBSD" instead of making a firewall distribution, your source of
motivation is wrong.
OpenBSD is free software. You are completely free to use it as a basis
for your firewall distribution.

This is a VERY sad day :(

(please read below), I am terminating the ComixWall project. I will keep
