I wonder if comp.unix.aux without the "comp.unix." part is taking off as well.

Doesn't "Top 10" and "most frequent" contain some redundancy in there somewhere?
How bout omitting the word "top". Shucks, why not omit the 10 as well.

I think it is a good idea. It won't stop people asking the questions but it's
still a good idea. And at least when people do ask the questions we can tell
them to RTFFAQ.

I have been thinking of writing more of my Tips, Hints, and Tricks for A/UX
(subtitled Facts, Facets, and Fallacies) using hints culled from the c.u.a
archives. This will not conflict with your FAQ list so no problem there.

I'll make a deal with you: If you do the FAQ list I'll do the THT list.
There is only one condition: I am not going to include any word in my THT's
that contains two consecutive u's. Someone else can do that. I don't know
anything about it, don't want to, and the archives are full of conflicts
anyway.

seminar are guaranteed to win a prize from category A below. All those who
