I doubt he's collecting. The set of FAQ authors is too small to be
worth bothering with. I think he's just clueless. He seems to be
operating mentally in 1985 BBS mode. In my reply, I made a point of
saying that he was welcome to give people a URL to faqs.org.

Given his "Jesus Is Lord" sig line, it might be a nice addition!

>ps, anyone else getting duplicates of some list messages?

Yes, two of every one. From the headers, it looks like some subscriber
in Finland is bouncing them all back to the list address and they are
getting through again. Luckily they are only getting through again the
first time, so it's just duplicates and not a loop. You can tell the
duplicate one by the fact that the mailing list tag (about how to
unsubscribe) appears twice.
