- Here's a neat thing to do. Create news.answers with /expire=30
- even though you don't get fed news.answers. FAQs and Nettiquette
- postings will be *crossposted* to news.answers automagically.
- Once they disappear from their original group, they'll stay in
- news.answers for as long as your /expire time.
-
- Works in DOS or Unix.
-
- Note: news.answers might be undergoing a big change, according
- to news.groups. Either there'll be news.answers.comp, news.answers.sci,
- news.answers.rec, etc, OR there'll be comp.answers, sci.answers,
- rec.answers, etc. In both cases, groups in the comp.* heirarchy
- would be crossposted to the companion answer group, and etc. Just
- a way of seperating things a little more.
