>Description:
	There is a strange ":-" symbol in the FreeBSD FAQ, Question 3.11.
	``Strange things happen when I boot the install floppy! What is
	happening?'', Question 5.2. ``What do I do when I have bad blocks
	on my hard drive?'' and Question 5.17. ``Why does Sendmail give me
	an error reading "mail loops back to myself"?''.
	
	I have never seen a symbol like this, and I think the author
	original intention was to use only a colon. However, I am curious
	about whether it means anything special :)
