The group is unmoderated; participation is open to all. A companion posting, "News.software.b Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" , complements this one by covering topics that frequently recur on this group. Yet another posting, "C News Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" , provides information about commonly encountered dilmemmas specifically related to the C News package. Related postings are maintained by Tom Limoncelli : "INN FAQ Part 1/4: General Information"; "INN FAQ Part 2/4: Debugging Guide & Tutorial"; "INN FAQ Part 3/4: Operational and Misc. Questions"; and "INN FAQ Part 4/4: Appendix A: Norman's install guide". Another is maintained by Rob Robertson and entitled "FAQ: Overview database / NOV General Information". (Another set is being drafted by Ian Phillipps for news.admin.technical; at this point this is a "work in progress".) All these articles are repeated periodically for the benefit of new readers. This posting, like much of Usenet, is maintained on a purely volunteer basis. I welcome reactions, additions, and corrections via email at linimon@nominil.lonesome.com. -- Mark Linimon / Lonesome Dove Computing Services / linimon@lonesome.com "He pulled out his fiddle and he rosined up his bow, and he played a little tune called the New Cut Road."
