(...) Does Darth Vader ever find out *whose* farm was blown away? He seems very distanced from the whole investigation. It seems like he would be briefed (in detail, if that's not an oxy-moron) on the entire investigation, but that still leaves the (...) (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Good idea. Which brings up an issue -- there would probably be a need for more directory levels than just those represented by the newsgroups, and probably just for FAQ items. Todd, how much of an issue is this? Cheers, - jsproat (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.faq)
