  26. has its own Frequently Asked Questions posting (except for
  27. comp.infosystems.www.advocacy). 
  28.  
  29. IMPORTANT: A set of answers to introductory web questions can be found 
  30. in the newsgroup comp.infosystems.www.misc. If you do not have web access
  31. yet, please go to that newsgroup and read the Frequently Asked Questions 
  32. (FAQ) posting of that group first. This posting is only a pointer.
  33.
