Hopefully one of the news.answers moderators will help with the
password for the FAQ posting server. If you don't have the instructions
for using the server, see
ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faq-maintainers/faq-server-help or send email to
with HELP in the subject.
Yves Bellefeuille reads this list and maintains another of the
rec.travel.europe FAQs and so can possibly help you.
You might want to ask on the newsgroup whether someone would like to
take over and update the FAQ in preference to deleting it entirely.
If you definitely want to purge it entirely, you should post it one
last time after replacing the entire content with a note that you have
discontinued the FAQ. Make sure the primary and secondary headers are
the same as they were with the "real" FAQ, especially the From,
Subject, and Archive-name. This will cause all sites which archive
news.answers to replace their last copy with the discontinuation
notice. This is especially useful in a case like yours, where the FAQ
has been recently auto-posted. In cases where an FAQ hasn't even been
posted in several years, it's less important but still useful -- some
archive sites will keep the last copy indefinitely.
