This was posted as a side-issue / heads-up for some.  A bit
of fall-out of the www.spamcop.net FAQ being incomplete,
the Forum FAQ being too huge and a Forum resource, the
on-going work on a Portal page, previous discussion points,
all suggesting that the newsgroup archives are a searchable
resource for data .. just pointing out that this resource is
also found to be incomplete for those that hadm't thought
about it.

As the premise for trying to build a better access point to
a FAQ, just firing up a newsreader is problematic enough
for some, setting up a server seems a step beyond for those
targeted users.
