Really, you used "what a maroon" on me first, and then laughed at my not
understanding it, sort of laughing at a non-American/Canadian's English.
And my procmail log showed you also lied by saying "I only mail my Usenet
posted copy once". Remember, you are the netgod, I am not :P

Hehehe, you used "what a maroon" from Bugs Bunny to laugh at me, and
now I used the quotation from "Space Jam" to laugh at you.

Sure. FAQ Maintainers will feel it funny to see Chris Lewis arguing
childishly with me :)
O.K. Anyway, it is O.K. if Chris insists to have the last word. I will
refrain from following it up. After all, I think I am still a far
distance away from my "last word" :)

If I am right, UUnet is like MIT or AoL which provides an archive for
FAQs approved in news.answers. Do you guys and gals think we might get
our help from those in charge of the UUnet archiving service? After all,
any forged cancels or supersedings injected at UUnet affect them too.
Since they are both in the same organization (UUnet), they might be in a
better position to exchange views on this, while our protests/complaints
might be easily ignored since they come from the outside.

It beats being the target of forged FAQ cancels by the kooks, namely,
"blind luck is better than bad luck" :P The former is still a luck,
while the latter is not.
