It'd be even higher if I could connect to your site. Are you
NSFnet-only or something?

This points out a diasadvantage of WWW: It's less reliable than having
a copy of the FAQ on your hard disk in news.answers.

Question:

Once I've finished the HTML versions of my FAQs, would it be
permissible in principle to post them to news.answers? That way, the
load could be spread and the reliability increased, as users would be
able to browse the HTML version on their local machine and fall back to
the canonical distribution point. In effect, you'd be setting up
mirroring of the canonical site, using Usenet as a transport medium.

Just something to think about.
