It was actually posted as a request for comments, with the intent to put it
into the FAQ-O-Matic system when everyone on the list was pleased with it.
There have been a number of changes, which is great, as it reflects the
needs of everyone on the list.

It was decided at the committee meeting this evening (I just got home, so
yes, we do put a lot of work in!) that the FAQ-O-Matic - whilst a good idea
- wasn't really appropriate, mostly because it looks so shocking!

The RFC Mailing List FAQ is at http://slug.org.au/faq.shtml

You'll find definitions to lots of these in The Jargon File, plus, if you
install `dict', you can get your answers in the terminal you always have
sitting next to mutt. ;)
