Now, that's about time to use the server a little bit :-)

I saved the FAQ from one of Dan's message.
This message started like this:
|From: Dan Victor <dvictor at u.washington.edu>
|Sender: owner-tweeters at u.washington.edu
|To: "WA State/B.C. Birders List" <tweeters at u.washington.edu>
|Subject: Tweeters FAQ
|Date: Fri, 19 May 1995 10:37:58 -0700 (PDT)

| TWEETERS WELCOME
|
|PLEASE *SAVE* THIS MESSAGE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE ON TWEETERS LISTPROCESSOR
| COMMANDS


I don't want to send this message again because of waste of bandwidth, but
what you can do is send a message to "listproc at lists.u.washington.edu"
(no subject needed) with content "get tweeters tweeters.log9505".

You will get a (huge) message containing all the messages that where sent
to tweeters in May '95.
You will then edit this message and keep the FAQ...
Ain't that easy :-)

By the way, Dan, wouldn't it be possible to directly get the FAQ from
the server?
I tend to think that this is a desirable feature for a list server.
