My ISP is going to stop supplying netnews in a few weeks, and I'm
probably not going to pay for an alternate news source. I might
still read netnews via some free source like Google Groups, but
that's not great for posting files like the FAQ.

I'm still playing EQ, and I'm happy to maintain the web version of
the FAQ. I could even periodically post a link to it. But if
someone is interested in taking over the FAQ more actively, reply
to this post and/or send me mail!

Indeed, this looks like it offers an actual NNTP feed so I could
continue using my existing news reader software. I'll give it a
look, thanks!
