Actually, the intent of the Google Archive is probaly such that they
would not want to act on superseds.
I notice that My FAQs end up in long threads by themselfs, based on
the title I guess, (or maybe the refernced generrated by the
auto-faq headers.) Someone searching will get the latest post,
(unless they are looking for something that was deleted)
This is the Behavior that I should expect from an archive of that
sort that attempts to round up ALL of usenet.
(actually I find it reasuring taht I can get a peek at a previous
version..)
The Goal of a stricktly FAQs only site might very well demand that
old versions disapear. But in the context of Google, where
presumably a searcher KNOWS that the information may be stale.
Keeping all the incremental versions arround is Probaly "a Good
Thing" (tm)
