Subject: FAQNEWS2.TXT contents Copyright (c) 1993-1996 by Timo Salmi All rights reserved FAQNEWS2.TXT Frequently (and not so frequently) asked questions relating to Usenet news with answers. Part 2/2. The items are in no particular order. You are free to quote brief passages from this file provided you clearly indicate the source with a proper acknowledgment. Comments and corrections are solicited. However, if you wish to ask for individual consultation, please do not email your question to me. Instead post your questions to a suitable Usenet newsgroup like news:news.newusers.questions. It is much more efficient than asking me by email. I'd like to help, but because of my many activities I am very pressed for time. I prefer to pick the questions I answer on the Usenet news. Thus I can answer publicly at one go if I happen to have an answer. Besides, the newsgroups have a number of other readers who might know a better or an alternative answer. Don't be discouraged, though, if you get a reply like this from me. I am always glad to hear from fellow Usenet news readers. ....................................................................
