About six years ago was 1999, the date of this post (apparently) from Magnus Kempe, in which he claims to be happy to have a competent volunteer maintain his FAQ (why does an individual "own" the FAQ for Ada?): ++++++++++ BEGIN ARTICLE QUOTE +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: Magnus Kempe Subject: Re: adverts on c.l.a Date: 1999/03/04 Message-ID: <36DEE653.9042BD9B@artemedia.ch>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 451271499 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit References: <7be6nm$4b9$1@remarQ.com> <7beilk$q5a$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com> <7beqcd$fs8$2@plug.news.pipex.net> <7bfcfr$3h3@dfw-ixnews9.ix.netcom.com> <36DB6F31.5A35224D@Botton.com> To: David Botton Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Complaints-To: usenet@sunrise.ch X-Trace: sibyl.sunrise.ch 920577715 23870 193.192.254.3 (4 Mar 1999 20:01:55 GMT) Organization: artemedia online sa Mime-Version: 1.0 NNTP-Posting-Date: 4 Mar 1999 20:01:55 GMT Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada > ...

Is it true that in six years no one has been interested enough to create another FAQ which is up-to-date and not controlled by an individual? David -- David Trudgett http://www.zeta.org.au/~wpower/ Every man of the present day with the Christian principles assimilated involuntarily in his conscience, finds himself in precisely the position of a man asleep who dreams that he is obliged to do something which even in his dream he knows he ought not to do. He knows this in the depths of his conscience, and all the same he seems unable to change his position; he cannot stop and cease doing what he ought not to do. And just as in a dream, his position becoming more and more painful, at last reaches such a pitch of intensity that he begins sometimes to doubt the reality of what is passing and makes a moral effort to shake off the nightmare which is oppressing him. This is just the condition of the average man of our Christian society. He feels that all that he does himself and that is done, around him is something absurd, hideous, impossible, and opposed to his conscience; he feels that his position is becoming more and more unendurable and reaching a crisis of intensity. -- Leo Tolstoy, "The Kingdom of God is Within You"
