I hate to tell you this, but my FAQ is posted monthly to news.answers and to
the FAQ's home newsgroup. It's archived at rtfm.mit.edu and in my personal
archive. It has pointers to it on several Web pages. I post
where-to-find-the-FAQ messages on a regular basis. And guess what? I *still*
receive 5 or 6 messages a week asking for a copy to be emailed.

A lot of these messages come from people who are new to the Internet. They
feel fairly comfortable with email, but are still scared of ftp and the like.
So I fire up my little mail-the-FAQ script, and send all 4 parts off.
