Well, I took a peek. I was 'pecting to find somethin' neat; maybe some cool naked wimin's pix, or somethin'. But all that's there is this dumb fack junk. What am I supposed to do with that? Not READ it, surely. Post some nudes. They'd be a lot more fun than all that frac stuff. JRO

Don't you agree? Besides, I'm startin' to git purty worried about you and this fack stuff. People git to freebasin' that junk, and it really messes them up. I think you been smokin' fack too long. You'd better give it up, or you'll end up in jail, or in rehab. If you're hooked, seek he'p. If'n you're not, then put the dope down. Fack is no good for anybody. JRO

Yes, that looks good. And the download times are quite
good too. I appreciate your effort! And of course I got
some suggestions :)
1. Don't use the term FAQ where it doesn't fit. "Frequently
Asked Questions" is one thing and "Things We Want To Make
Very Clear" is an entirely different thing
- and TWWTMVC sounds much better anyway.
2. "alt.ascii-art Documents List" is either obsolete now or it
should be changed to a list of mirror sites.
3. Copyright FAQ by Pete Casso? What the ...?!
Now, all we need is a bunch of people creating mirror sites.
:)

'--------------------------------
1. Yes, I was a bit unsure about what to call those things that aren't
FAQs... TWWTMVC ? hehe!
2. I just put up the current FAQ files as an example. All of the current
files will need a rewrite once a decision has been reached as to what's
happening.
3. That was something from a long, long time ago :o)
As for maintaining a list of mirror sites, I've got a database I set up for
them that can have an HTML document of links generated from it... ATM it's
only got my three mirrors in it. I'll hold off on that one -- for one thing
I don't know if I'm going to be responsible for mirror sites listing and
stuff yet!

Ahh yes the popup... I haven't figured out yet what I have to do to rid the
page of that.
My other mirrors don't have it...

There isn't one yet, as such. Until we've decided (see other thread) on what
exactly is to be done with regards to site formatting etc it's best to hold
off on making mirrors. And yes, I know I've already made three but I made
those before the dicussion started! ;o)
See the other thread...

Johnny... linking a site of naked 'wimmin' would be *very* off-topic!

Happy belated Birthday Martin :) My Mother's Birthday is the day after yours (26th). I will tell her I know someone one day ahead. That will slightly bother her, Aries always want to be first! :) Hope your day was a great one, Laura

Lets make use of the FAQs category I already started in ODP. I dont
remember just what I put in there. Anyone can add a URL to another
FAQ. It should make a good mirror site, certainly easy to maintain.

Frequent yet somehow missing from my collection. I feel that JRO was
