With regards to rtl's FAQ we should leave it alone so we don't irk someone.
But your idea sounds okay. One FAQ indigenous to each ng.
Todd, since I know virtually nothing about servers (other than they serve
information), how do you keep the url of an FAQ persistent in/on an ng so that
people don't have to inquire as to its whereabouts? I realize that this could
easily be done on the lugnet.com/news/ page that displays the major groups, but
not everyone will see that page will they? A bigger problem is FAQ's for the
lugnet.loc.* ng's, if they need FAQ's at all.

Do what you can, but behave yourself.
We'll have more, right after this.

| (...) The standard thing to do would be to post them periodically to the group they represent. There is an 'Expires:' NNTP header for setting something to persist on the server for a long time, and a 'Supercedes:' header for posting a new message (...)
