Re: Minor change in the F.A.Q. Please read.

I'm the one to blame for the dates... I am trying to get it
sorted... I started lurking in aaa and raa in November of
1995 -- two years ago... at that time, Bob Allison was still
moderating <raa>...  I believe that he stopped moderating in
July of the 1996.  I know he stopped moderating just before
I really starting making the ASCII pics  in Aug/Sept of '96--
Don Bertino took over then.... he held
it up until December of 1996.  The (raa) newsgroup has
been inactive for 11 months.  The latest email from Don
indicates that he is back as moderator.
So the FAQ should read:

11.What happened to rec.arts.ascii? 

     rec.arts.ascii is a moderated newsgroup, meaning that
     all messages sent to the newsgroup had to pass through an
     intermediary (the moderator) who checked them for
     appropriateness before sending them to the newsgroup proper.

     In the case of rec.arts.ascii, the moderator was
     Bob Allison (otherwise known as `Scarecrow'), and he
     retired from the job in July 1996. The newsgroup
     was inactive from December 1996 until November 1997.
     Don Bertino (ber...@netcom.com) is at the helm as 
     moderator. Post away.

If anyone has more to add/delete... let me know... let's get this
accurate... so we can all update our copies of the FAQ on the
web and those that will be posted regularly to the group...
