The cs.uu.nl was the fist archive site to file my faq and correctly picked up the latest version.

Thanks for the service Henk.

PS I could still do with some pointers on how to acccess the autopost server.

PPS : The latest Spam came with the ususal lie
        "Your name was registered on one of our business sites," which is ****
        because they used the faq posting address that I *never* use for anything else.
        Spammer telling porky pies no change there then.
