Could you please let us know what's up? Ah yes, the a.c.u. FAQ. Well, I pretty much gave up on it and the group when the group spiralled out of useful existence. alt.culture.usenet is now just a place that people automatically cross-post to. I check it every now and again, but it has died as near as I can tell. Now that the group is useless, I have let the FAQ fall by the wayside... I still have it, and the dozens of suggestions for maintaining it. Last year, I attempted to create a moderated Usenet culture group to stem the tide of junk cross-posting, but I had to back out when school work became a much greater priority... The FAQ was put on hold during that fight, and was never ressurected. One of these days, I might fight the battle again. But until then, you might as well count the a.c.u. FAQ out... - Tom
