'-----------------------------

If you use CSS properly it allows you to make it look nice on 'decent'
browsers while making it usable on older ones, and making it almost plain
text (very minimal markup). Therefore I believe that that should be what is
used... might be just me, though.

|4. ... MIRRORS
|The mirror addresses a couple of paragraphs down from the start are
|currently marked in [brackets] with the current version numbers for
|their copies of the FAQ. This is partly a wake-up call to those of you
|who have out-of-date copies on their sites, and partly a way of setting
|up the definitive list of mirrors.
'-----------------------------
Eeek... I have about 5 copies of the FAQ, two of which (one you have listed)
are very out of date. vibes.vossnet.co.uk/i/ighaig/ascfaq.htm has been
recently superseded by my more consistant (to the rest of my FAQ site)
http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/aaafaq/

.-----------------------------
|The person responsible for each copy listed below should reply to this
|message before 15 April 1999, stating their intention to keep their copy
|up-to-date (or not), and which address it is; if not, I'll remove the
|address of their copy from the list of mirrors. (Reply in alt.ascii-art,
|not by e-mail please, it's cheaper for me and probably no different in
|cost for you.) Anyone else who wants to put up a mirror should let me
|know what its address is going to be in the same way.
'-----------------------------
Hmm... Are you talking about mirrors of this document or all of the current
informational documents?
I thought that we were still discussing how mirroring of informatinal
documents was to be handled, including which documents and filenames we were
all going to use.

Incidentally, mine are currently at...
http://martweb.hypermart.net/aaafaq/aaafaq.txt (Seattle, America)
http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/aaafaq/aaafaq.txt (Somewhere, UK)
http://voices.vossnet.co.uk/a/atkins/aaafaq/aaafaq.txt (Langley, UK)

.-----------------------------
|Mirrors registered in this way will be shown by a * next to the address
|in later postings of this message. This is the first posting of this
|message. If you replied to this message saying that you would put up a
|mirror copy, and the next posting does not show a * next to your
|address, then I have probably not seen your message -- try again by
|replying to the next message.

'-------------------

Will have a read over the new FAQ when I'm offline.
