So, are Tom Fine's archives ever going to work again?

Looks like the FAQ archive at OSU stopped updating a month ago.
Fine's promised replacement archive at www.smartpages.com never
has updated since it was initially filled in July.

I like Fine's auto-formatting of digestified FAQs a lot better
than any of the other Web FAQ archives I've seen. I don't really
want to switch over to referencing some other archive. But what
choice is there?

More importantly, what are we as a group going to do about the fact
that half the Web universe has pointers to various FAQs at OSU?
We can't even replace those copies with pointers to newer versions,
if the updating daemon has died :-(.

Is there any chance of leaning on the powers that be at OSU to
get that archive supported again? If not, I think pressuring them
to *delete* it would be a lot better than letting it sit there and
get more and more out of date. At least that way, people would
realize their links were obsolete.
