    For those who are familiar with this post and know how to use killfiles,
    it is possible to avoid downloading this FAQ under normal circumstances
    by adding a reference to kill on the following line:-

        X-Changes: NONE

    When a new version appears this will be modified for the first time it is
    posted, hopefully saving bandwidth..

For a guide on how to configure your newsreader/web-browser for posting
to uk.* groups, see <http://www.usenet.org.uk/ukpost.html> .

Proposed changes to this or any other uk.* newsgroup are published in
<news:uk.net.news.announce>, a moderated, low traffic newsgroup, which
you are recommended to subscribe to. Details of elections to the 
UK Usenet Committee, which normally start in September of each year,
are also found there.
