The FAQ must have taken a while to propogate this time.  I did indeed post it
on the 16th.  I hope that everyone has received it, by now.

I have not yet arranged to get the FAQ posted to net.answers.  I was informed
by several individuals that simply cross-posting would not work (it is
supposed to be a moderated group, and all that).  I've been meaning to get
that settled for some time.  As with everythnig else with my life, at present,
I'm running about a zillion years behind schedule...  As I've always
requested, please mail corrections and suggestions for the FAQ directly to
me so that I'll be sure and see them.  You've all been very helpful in
getting inaccuracies, typos, etc., corrected and PLEASE DON'T STOP!!  I really
need, and appreciate, the help!

As for rec news access, I may indeed be loosing access to non "work related"
news groups:-(.  I haven't, yet, though :-).  I am, however, extremely busy at
present and will continue to be so for the next couple of months.  I will
continue to read r.m.r and keep the FAQ updated.  The next posting will
be mid-Feb (I'm on a roll.  I've gotten one-in-a-row posted on schedule :-).

Also, please don't hesitate to email me your thoughts on the FAQ being too
big, too small, too broad, too narrow, etc.  It's here for your benefit, so
I would like to see that it contains the information that is of the most
benefit to the most readers of r.m.r.

Finally, the FAQ on the archive is one of the original 2-part FAQs from last
year and is now out of date.  If the keeper of the archive will remind me how
to submit files I will get that updated.
