OTHERS?
Have you ever wondered how those people have gotten the name at the end
of the FAQ list? They are people who are widely recognized as thoughtful
posters of reliable information. They have consistently added value to
various debates by sharing their point of view, and often researching
difficult questions which arise on the net, and posting authoritative facts
citing sources.
The official way for joining the list of distinguished AFU-ers is to
research a number of the unanswered questions that come now and then
and reach a definitive conclusion (or demonstrate that one cannot be
found). Post your findings. If your reports are sound, and have
provide a reasonable contribution to the signal-to-noise ratio of
the newsgroup, and the original question was non-trivial, you will
be added to the acknowledgements section of the FAQ list! Be prepared
to submit references. We are mostly adults here (except around the
beginning of the academic year). Be prepared to discuss and debate
your research and conclusions here. The unofficial way to get on the
list is to give me a big payoff (and it better be more than two-fifty).
