Doing business with Verizon is bad karma. They help the fascistas spy
on you and they hate DSL. And you want to take over the newsgroup?

I do not wish to "take over" anything. I thought I had made that
clear. I simply wish to facilitate the process of replacing the old
FAQs so that the group has a decent set of orientative documents once
again, as it did in the past.

Orientative?


Well, orientational? Whatever..... shrug

What's wrong with the 1996 (?) statement?


It is in direct contradiction with the 1984 statement.


I don't believe r.r.s was newgrouped until 1993. But anyway......

The main issue I have with the old documents is that they haven't been
updated/posted regularly here since like 1998, and they're copyrighted
by Ralph Brandi - or by Scott Fybush, in the case of the AM/TV DX'ing
FAQ - guys who aren't around anymore.

Maybe we could repost the original documents here and get away with
it, but there have been a lot of new technologies and stuff that have
come out in the last ten years. There were never any documents on
satellite radio, for example (which incidentally is one document
somebody else is going to have to help out with because that's not at
all my cup of tea nor my area of expertise).
