Hi Netters,

Could someone please mail me the earlier sets of FAQ if they have
saved them ?

Thanks in advance!

There seems to be a misunderstanding here.  The document is not "Answers to
selected questions that have come up this month", it's "Answers to questions
that have plagued this newsgroup since before the Great Renaming".  It's our
*accumulated* wisdom; each issue completely supersedes all previous issues.
Unless you collect Usenet articles as a hobby%, there's no reason to look at
earlier issues.  And there's a good reason *not* to: later issues often
correct subtle mistakes in earlier ones.

Maybe this should go in the FAQ.

OK, I'll take the bait.  Who's got a copy of this post (inode times
aside)?

I hate to ask, but can anyone please post the list of frequently asked 
questions? It's been a while, and since I keep getting reffered to them it
might be nice to have some.

Thanks,

Chris
