At present, I'd have to do something simpler. PGP signatures
present some difficulties.
On a more current item. Anex Anespy, aka "implant@yoyo.mil",
is forge-approving copies of Dave Hayes' "Network abuse: an
alternate view" FAQ into the *.answers groups.
Could someone tell me whether Dave Hayes's "FAQ" (choke) is actually
an approved FAQ or not? I know that Hayes forge-approved it himself
at least once.
And secondly, would the archive maintainers like me to sic the 'bot
on it?
