Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 23:11:17 EST Hello, To update the rtfm archive, first you should let us know if these are the headers you are using. Newsgroups: alt.humor.best-of-usenet,alt.humor.best-of-usenet.d Subject: Alt.humor.best-of-usenet FAQ From: royn@duke.usask.ca If any of these are incorrect, tell us the correct headers. Also, please let us know what the posting frequency is. Once you do that, you will be entered into our database, and then every time you repost, the FAQ will automatically stored in rtfm. You can also try to get the faq approved for posting on news.answers, a moderated newsgroup. To do this, first obtain the guidelines document be sending an email message to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the command send usenet/news.answers/news-answers/guidelines on a line by itself in the body of the message. Once you have read this document, make you FAQ conform to the guidelines. Realize, though, you only have to do this if you want to post on news.answers, which you also don't have to do if you don't want to. I don't know of any other news.* newsgroups where you should post. It's mostly up to you to find them. I think this answers all of your questions. Feel free to write us if you have any more. Emily Havens one of the *.answers moderators news-answers-request@mit.edu P.S. In the United States, it's spelled "humor," not "humour." You might have a little trouble posting to a newsgroup that doesn't exist. ;)
