The faq hasn't been posted for a considerable time, why I suspect the time being the most convenient for a change of the archive names. Maybe the form I've proposed are may lead to the parts being listed in appropriate order also in ftp-archives and other alphabetic lists. > Let me suggest that you keep the Archive-name line the same.

In the subject line I think that would be highly valuable, but the archive names are maybe informative enough without? > Also, the > other FAQ had 8 parts, so you should let us know if you're only going to > post the seven parts you sent. Well, the parts are quite voluminous, but the alternative would be anything like thirty parts, and I really don't know if that would be much better. > Also, your posting frequency should be > lowered. News posts expire after a period of time, so you need to > repost before they expire. We come from a part of the world, where maybe expiration times are longer than in other parts. For the *.answers groups it's common with 6 months - or longer. How short time would you suggest? best regards! Johan Olofsson
