It also depends how long a particular news server is keeping
the articles. News server may let an article expire per the
'Expires' line or purge it out after x number of days. I would
think, most will expire something out after a month. Usually
news.* hierachy is kept longer so check that one out, you may
find your FAQ hanging around there...

] Hello everybody:
]
] The first line on my faq (comp.sys.m68k) was
]
] "Expires: Mon, June 20 1994 00:00:00 EDT"
]
] Someone told me this would keep my faq in the reader until that time.
] I checked an account with a TIN reader and today (June 18) the faq is gone.
]
] Is the "Expires" not going to work? When I submit my faq for approval to
] news.answers, can I put the required headers at the beginning of my document
] and have them recognized or do I need a more sophisticated method of
] posting?
]
] At present, I post the faq via Email through usenet@gatekeeper.dec.com. It
] works well enough. I want to post my faq around the 19th of each month.
]
] Thanks
