And my upgrade of Slyedit isnt working.  *sigh*.  Ah well, I shall have to look
back as I missed something as now you like KW ;-)

When I started, the FTSC had a set of private groups but they were so they
could work on ideas without interuption and those ideas came here for comment. 
I am not sure when that stopped.  I entered as a guest member something like
1995?  Not sure really.  I remeber the Spain node who ran the elections finally
stopping posting. I remember fixing feeds many a time as coordinators changed.

Letting folks know what is going on in there is a good thing.  Exact copies or
works in progress, maybe not so much so as we are largely fixing typos.

Laught with me but one I noted was a discrepancy that is pretty pedantic.  Old
school is always 2 spaces after a period.  Now, i really don;t care about that
and Europe doesnt do that but I noted documents were a mix and match and asked
they be standard.  Just 'pick one and make them match'.

I doubt most here would care about such little things, but if you do, that is
one of the bits that happened.

The only thing i worry about is the archive trimming at times.  I will have to
check again but last look, I couldnt see any of the FAQs (largely no longer
relevant) but also couldnt find the Y2K work that was amiga related and
relevant in 2020 for some NIX OS persons.  I do not think we can muster the
level of testing for that anymore.
