- This reminds me. I've been meaning to put together an FAQ List for this
- group, but I'll need some help. We need questions, and then answers for
- the questions. Here's a start...
-
- 1) Who is this Kent Montana guy?
-
- I figgered on quoting from the back of the Ugly Thing from Mars, with a
- brief explanation afterwards.
-
- 2) What are all those weird abbreviations?
-
- Most of them are abbreviations of book titles. Kent Montana books tend
- to have really long titles, and typing them in can be a big pain in the
- tuckus. Here's a brief summary:
-
- a.f.km - alt.fan.kent-montana
-
- (Any suggestions for other abbreviations out there?)
-
- -----------
-
- Anyway, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for. Any help out there?
- Either post, or send me your suggestions, I'll keep them on record, and
- the result will be posted here.
