My reply to Joe.....

Here is what I sent as a reply.......


Joe,



Thanks for the interest in our FAQ.



I did present your email to the group and the general consensus was that it
would be in our best interest at this time not to endorse or align ourselves
to another group but to remain independent.



We do not mind though, for you to post our FAQ on a site of yours as
guidelines for other groups. There is no way, in unmoderated Usenet to make
hard and fast rules and/or enforce them, but the ones that post here do
follow the "spirit" of the FAQ.



Our FAQ took over three months and comments from various numbers of regular
and frequent posters to our group to hash out. The FAQ have only been
revised once since their inception and that due to the advent of faster
access to the internet.



So we feel they have stood the test of time.



Again we thank you for your interest,

the members of a.b.p.a.

works for me

Hi Mike, Actually, the FAQ have a much longer history than that and have
been revised several times over the years before I passed the documents over
to you. I wrote most of the documents with the help of a large number of
regulars on abpa and after that we occasionally changed some numbers as
Internet speeds increased or broadband became more common. But the basics
haven't changed, which is nice to see, since, after all, they are only
common courtesy and common sense.
