OK, I'm just going to point out an example that has happened. The
Alt.Binaries.Multimedia.Xena-Herc FAQ was maintained by Romar666. But
unfortuneately, he died in the middle part of 1998. Admittedly his FAQ
wasn't being handled by either news.answers or Rtfm.mit.edu. The FAQ was
actually stored on a central website. And the website owner asked me if I
could take it over.
Bringing this back to the case in point, what happens if a FAQ is not being
updated by the original maintainer, because they are unable to for one
reason or another? Is there a _need_ for a procedure to dead-head
non-updated FAQ's?
