Rec.arts.anime Frequently Asked Questions Lists
FAQ: Frequently Asked Question. A question which is frequently asked
by new (or casual) users of a newsgroup. In order to increase the
Signal-to-Noise ratio, some newsgroups have a person in charge of
posting a monthly list of FAQs and the correct answers. The Anime
FAQL consists of four postings (hopefully) covering most things
new rec.arts.anime users look for:
1) An introduction to the newsgroup and its slang.
2) Answers to common questions.
3) Recommendations for good anime.
4) Anime Resources, both electronic and commercial.
This list is posted here the first week of every month and is
also available via ftp from the Rutgers Anime ftp site on
remus.rutgers.edu in pub/anime/faq/anime
[NOTE: THIS FTP AREA IS FULL AND NOT CURRENT]
They can also be found rtfm.mit.edu in the rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet. If
you do not have ftp, send a message to "mail-...@rtfm.mit.edu" with the
word "help" in the body. The server will send you instructions on
retrieving the files via email.
