I really appreciate your ongoing efforts to maintain the newsgroup's FAQ. :) Unfortunately, despite multiple rather lengthy discussions during the last years, there has not been an agreement about the maintainer of the official FAQ--so, if anybody complains that is not the official FAQ, they are right. And I am finally sick of discussing this issue with pigheads, who prefer an unmaintained FAQ with out-dated information over a FAQ that is maintained by somebody they don't like, even when there are no alternative volunteers. > It's a fact that in the last year or so there have been hardly any > questions about the ECMAScript language itself. Well, for instance, you could have posted thoughts about ECMAScript.next (which might start interesting and fruitful discussions), if the official newsgroup FAQ didn't imply that only questions are welcome (and this can't be changed, unfortunately). Of course, the newsgroup charter talks of discussions, but its newsgroup line is | comp.lang.javascript Netscape Communications Corp.'s JavaScript | language. It is probably a good idea to stick with this charter as well as with the out-dated FAQ, and merrily going on posting OT. ;) -- Christoph M. Becker
