They've been dropped on srv4.reelwest.bc.ca entirely. So much for
FAQs.
Like anything else that gets overly abused, supersedes went away.
Cancels are going next, to be replaced with Cleanfeed courtesy of our
upstream, and NoCeM On Spool.
What ever happened to using the Expires: header instead? Most news
sites, mine included, save *.answers and news.announce.newusers
forever almost. Expires: seems to me is a better solution for keeping
old copies of FAQs out of news spools, though I read somewhere an old
thread in here like, "Expires: is hazardous to your FAQ's health."
Somehow I don't think Expires: could be abused except possibly by the
FAQ maintainer.
