I disagree. The term mirror means that it's identical. I don't look green in
some mirrors (except on really bad mornings) - I always look like I am.
I think that the FAQ mirrors should be an entirely separate section of the
site, in a different directory if that is possible with the hosting service
in use, and should not have any relating links to site owner's homepage.
Look at http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/, then put /aaafaq/ on the end
of the URL --- no similarity there, and the faq site doesn't even acknoledge
the existance of 'MartWEB' because exactly the same documents are at
http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/aaafaq/.

Incidentally, that site is my proposal for the 'consistant style' of site
that I said I thought was important in the other post.

Good, I don't need to try to convince you on this one.
