Hey all LUGFAQ fans, Well, it happened. I have acquired a lot of short-term duties at work (1) and my Scotland vacation is coming up fast, so I am unable to continue work on the FAQ for at least a few months. I should be able to again dedicate time (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.announce)

(...) (1) -----^^^...^^^ (...) Do you want the 293 files that make up the FAQ, or the ZIP file, or the HTML I generated? If I post the HTML, no FAQ writers can really benefit; I can't post the ZIP file; I don't want to post 293 FAQ items, not even (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jul-99, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Oops, that's 202 FAQ items, 108 with answers. I was including the charter items in that count. I figure what the hell, I'll sluff work today and script the beast that will post all 202 items into lugnet.faq . Actual posting won't happen (...)

(...) I'm not sure that I should post the HTML to the newsgroup; the HTML I generate is around 300 KB. And, it would look pretty ugly, reading an HTML document in a news reader. I've run it through Lynx; the resulting text is around 240 KB. And, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jul-99, to lugnet.faq)
