There is no "Preferred UUCP path", since uucp paths specifiy a routing for the
job to take, rather than an absolute destination address like ARPA-addresses
(though a path from some major node like ihnp4 or decvax would be nice.)
The standard way to post to an fa.*** group is to use the "reply" option in
readnews, which sends mail to the poster of the article, i.e. the mailing-list.
It would be a good addition to the biweekly postings.
