Per the attached response from Verio, and what we've discovered about Spam
Hippo, it seems we're back to a problem with distribution -- the FAQ
apparently did not reach Verio or DejaNews or other sites.
Pam -- is there any way you know of to track down a possible problem with
FAQ distribution?
The only specific known distribution problems I've heard of were FAQs that
should have gone out on or a day either side of February 26. Is it possible
this was a one-day problem somewhere, or have people been experiencing a
continuing problem?

Before anyone wastes any more time on this, I've just checked on three
other newsservers - not associated with Verio - one of which I know for a
fact does NOT run spamhippo (the others i'm not sure), and Mr. Balanone's
FAQ is not to be found in news.answers on any of those newsservers
(news.answers is normally set to a 30 day expire at virtually all sites).
I suspect either pilot error on the part of Mr. Balanone while posting
(incorrect expires header?), or some problem at the MIT FAQ server site.
This is not a spamhippo issue.
thank you,
paul
