This group's FAQ, both old and new. Do a search for "quote" and see how quickly you find out. (About 2 minutes I expect.) John

It's true that the current FAQ editor says that all discussion of the FAQ contents must be by private email to and from the editor. However, no other editor has implemented such a daft system. I deem banning public discussion to be ultra vires. Apart from that, the FAQ does tell you "how to post or quote". Discussing what the FAQ says and suggesting changes to it is *always* on topic. John

Try looking at Thomas's signature. Yes it is YOU to tell since YOU said: "You are asking for the FAQ to be changed. Of course it's on topic."

The FAQ's URL is posted to this news group several times a week. If you're too dozy to see it that's your problem. As it says in the FAQ, "Before posting to c.l.js, you should read this document." >So what FAQ are YOU referring to then which says, that it is on topic to >discuss the quoting style of posts in comp.lang.javascript? You asked this question before and I gave you a complete and accurate answer. John

So I'll use even more words to say the same thing yet again : The definitive statement of the current FAQ's URL is in Thomas Lahn's Usenet signature. It is definitive because he is the current editor and the FAQ is on his web site. Thomas posts several articles a week so it should not be difficult to find a recent example. E.g Last Thursday, last Friday. John

E.g Last Thursday, last Friday. That is, OTTINMODNPPSODNPDW, correct. The problem is that Thomas Lahn's style is so uniformly uncongenial that few incomers will ever reach the signature part of any of his articles. -- (c) John Stockton, near London, UK.

E.g Last Thursday, last Friday." I do. So what? Whenever you see one of his posts you can't be sure if the URL you find still exists or not since you don't know, if this is the latest post or not without subscribing the newsgroup, fetching all posts and searching for the latest one. This point would make much more sense, if there was a periodical posting with the subject "FAQ of comp.lang.javascript" with a pointer to the current URL of the FAQ of this newsgroup. However - URLs should not become invalid or disappear anyway: <https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI> So if Thomas Lahn mentions <http://pointedears.de/faq> as the URL of the FAQ for comp.lang.javascript, this URL should not change. If Thomas Lahn ever decides not to maintain his FAQ any longer I'm sure he will either set up a redirection to the new location or add an appropriate note about this in the existing document. It would also be a good idea, if <http://jibbering.com/faq/> would contain a pointer to <http://pointedears.de/faq>. I just sent an e-mail to Garret - maybe he will add this to his FAQ. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
