I remember posting a similar suggestion to news.announce.newusers a
couple of months back.  Anyone know what happened to *that* idea?
IMHO this belongs in n.a.n.  Of course it's a good idea.  The questions
keep getting asked over and over again, and to each new entrant to
USENET, every question is quite valid.

The only point I might add is that eventually it'll read like the
sysV docs (long), so we might have a simple version on a rotating
n.a.n. posting and an extended version available from the (whoever)
moderator on email request.
