I agree!! I used to post the Ship Modeling FAQ; this got to be too
long and unwieldy, and I instead made it into a web site. I now post a
short POINTER weekly, but it's under a different "path" and I find that
there are still 2-year-old copies of the original FAQ archived around
the net.
I would dearly love to purge all of the old copies!
