It would be really cool if we managed to get it into faqs.org. There still is an ancient Gnus FAQ which is 100% outdated (it's 9 years old). I once tried to do this, but somehow didn't come around to finish it. I think at this time you had to set up an automated, regular posting of the FAQ to a newsgroup or something along these lines. -- Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns? Given that a signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages. Seize the opportunity and don't waste your signature on bullshit that nobody cares about.
