FAQ := Frequently Asked Question (or list thereof)
This text is a FAQofFAQs, i.e. it is a FAQ to help you find FAQ listings
on the Usenet.
Many newsreader programs can split up this text to let you choose the
seperate parts with a menu.
With the newsreader "nn" you can do this with typing 'G' and then '%'.
Most other newsreaders supposedly let you do this with '^g'.
