(...) Yes. What a guy! Thanks for offering. I know Todd had someone else lined up to do it too, and was trying to organize a letter writing campaign. Dunno what happened or if Tom ever responded. Problem here is that how do you manage a transition (...) (26 years ago, 19-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'd expressed interest in updating and revising the FAQ back in August and contacted Tom. Todd's post on r.t.l referenced that.

(...) I think Todd has a neat idea technically. However my concern with multiple FAQs is the divisiveness factor betweeen RTL and LUGNET. Multiple FAQs within LUGNET would be very cool. Tom does not "own" the right to be the keeper of the FAQ. Nor (...) (26 years ago, 28-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

Why not an alternative FAQ?? The unauthorised, Kitty Kelly version, for instance? Quote, and give credit to, where it is due, or reference it extensively? It could be the official Lugnet FAQ/unofficial RTL FAQ.... Larry Pieniazek wrote in message (...) (26 years ago, 28-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

(...) This is an excellent approach to a LUGNET Faq. Which, I have grown convinced, is the bigger need. An r.t.l alt-faq can easily grow out of such a thing as well, but a LUGNET faq fairly screams from the sort of cooperation I think would make a (...) (26 years ago, 28-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

My 2 bits: I like the idea of a new FAQ, with information that is relevant. It is obvious that the current RTL FAQ is not a priority for Tom Pfeifer, for whatever reason, and the rest of the community is suffering for it. He needs to realize that it (...)
