I was thinking .. if someone could run a newsserver then i know of a program that can monitor a
group and f.x send answers to the most asked questions like the one above.
Thats is, send a FAQ to them automaticly.

Also .. if someone could run a exclusive newsserver for just this group people with no acccess to a
good newsserver would have an alternative (also filtering of messages would be an option)

And btw .. to Niels ,
The program you are looking for is called figlet , and several webpages exist that allows you to use
it through a webinterface, it's also availble for download on numerous platforms.

Try http://www.surfplaza.com/figlet/ thats what i use
