Well, at least you seem to have improved from your "Devil candied tongue"
spams. The question is an important one: Nathan has been consistently 
breaking the newsgroup charter and the newsgroup rules as a whole. He
continually defies it: He does not post a plain text version at regular
intervals to the group, and he does not post a plain text version to
news.answers as he is required to (and a "Look at this URL for the full
FAQ" message can no in no way considered acceptable).

Despite this, some of you seem to be quite willing to suck up to him, and
cheer him one. Another poster was right, I should keep in mind when posting
that I'm dealing with morons.

It's an alright FAQ, and he can call it "My Fucken Anti-Turley FAQ, And
Fuck You'se Guys Who Can't Access it FAQ" for all I care. He just has no
right to call it "The comp.sys.apple2" FAQ without our approval.

If you don't agree, I don't suppose you'd see any harm in me making a new
drink and calling it "Coca Cola". Or perhaps making a new computer and
calling it the "Apple //"? If you honestly think there's nothing wrong with
this, then man have I got some prime Florida real-estate for you! ;-)

[Admittedly, it seems to be the current most up to date FAQ, with new
FAQ projects starting, we WILL have an alternative set of FAQS, which may
at least have maintainers not as calleous of obeying newsgroups charters
as Nathan certainly appears to be].
