Is the fallacy that I only think I exist when, in fact, I do exist? I 
asked my Mum if I exist and she said that I did - in these sort of 
matters there's no higher authority for me than her ;-)

Searching for the truth by authority is another falacy,
the better approximation of it being reasoning on factual basis.

Is "cogito ergo sum" the "sum of all things"?

Which FAQ says, that discussion how to post in a newsgroup and how to
indicate deletions of quotes is on topic in comp.lang.javascript?

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.)

Nope:

<https://jibbering.com/faq/>

I did not find anything there which says, that a *discussion* about the
form how to post or quote is on topic here.

FYI, that is the old FAQ which is officially obsolete, but the
relevant words haven't been changed yet.


>I did not find anything there which says, that a *discussion* about the

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.

If this FAQ is obsolete, then name the current one.

So one should also discuss changes in
<https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt> here, since this is mentioned in
the FAQ of comp.lang.javascript? Not really.

It's not for me to tell you that. Try looking at Thomas's signature.

Are you being deliberately thick? Surely you realise that the FAQ

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

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?

No it bloody-well isn't. 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."

You asked this question before and I gave you a complete and accurate
answer.

Tell me the message ID with that answer from you which contains the
exact URL to the FAQ.

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.

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.

And why is it so hard for you to mention the URL here?

<http://pointedears.de/faq>

Is this the one you refer to?

Other people will now remember *how* to find the FAQ's URL,

><http://pointedears.de/faq>

whereas that text will disappear into the mists of time and will be
essentially unfindable.

Only if you've copied the definitive text correctly.

Which is also true for "The definitive statement of the current FAQ's
URL is in Thomas Lahn's Usenet signature".

Obviously you don't understand the paragraph where I said

"Thomas posts several articles a week so it should not be difficult to
find a recent example. 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.
