      There IS a FAQ, one of the best in USENETdom, in the archives. We will try to post it on a regular basis. Please help in keeping it updated by suggesting books, items, products, etc.

      Hardly - I wasn't giving anybody credit. I just like seeing the old Meeks/Lor arguments. They have been one of the few constants in my 6 years of Usenetdom.

      They're a bunch of "Usenet Performance Artists" that somehow have gotten it in their heads that they'll be able to take over newsgroups. it's pretty much an impossible feat here due to alt5's unique nature in Usenetdom.
