Not so, buffalo breath.  Only about 70% of 'em are at either rtfm.mit.edu or
ftp.uu.net.  If you don't follow the requirements for posting at the archive
sites, they ignore you.  The ones that *aren't* at the archives are STILL
posted regularly to the groups, though, but I've yet to find anyone willing
to wait up to 30 days before it's re-posted.  This `instant gratification'
society we're breeding and fostering is a pain in the anatomy.

I'll admit, it IS annoying to see `Where's the FAQ?' when it's been on the
archive sites for years.

Sorry about the rude crack, but someone has to take over for Carson. 
Nothing personal.
