My question is, is there anyone who is still keeping extra long expires
(longer than a month) in the *.answers groups? I haven't been using
Supercede for my FAQ (posted monthly) which is crossposted to alt.answers
and news.answers. Is that bad form, am I likely to be occupying extra space
on some server?
