I very strongly suggest that each of us FTP to ftp.cdrom.com and
/pub/cdrom/cdroms/inet then read the index.txt file to see if your FAQ is
in the CDrom against your will and copyright. If so, please send me email
and I will keep a list. I have send off an exploratory message to the EFF
to see what they suggest be do

-john, who is happy to say he hasn't found his FAQ in there ... but
doesn't want a precedent saying that it would be alright to
add his FAQ at a later time.
