	Based on the responses that I've gotten to my offer to 
manage an FDDI FAQ List I'm going to go ahead with it.  Don't 
expect too much to start with, I'm new at this.  As such, any 
suggestions, recommendations, and pointers would be greatly 
appreciated.  

	I'll start off by opening myself up to 'submissions' to the 
list.  Any piece that I use will be given credit(or not if 
requested).  Based on the nature of these submissions I'll be 
begin working on some form of organized format.  

	The software that I have here at the present time is a bit 
primative, but it should suffice.  For the present time automatic 
replies will be based on what you put into the subject header.  

	At the present time I'm expecting to have my filter to 
understand the following subject headers:

    _Subject_                     _Action_

FDDI FAQ SUBMISSION   Moves Message to a folder where I will
                      examine it for addition to the list.
                      Submissions should include the following:
                      The Question.
                      An Answer to the Question.  
FDDI FAQ SEND         Replies with FDDI FAQ to sender.
                      (Based on From: and Reply-To: SMTP fields)
FDDI FAQ ADD LIST     Adds sender to mailing list for FDDI FAQ
                      (Based on From: and Reply-To: SMTP fields)
FDDI FAQ DELETE LIST  Deletes sender from mailing list.


Currently I'm planning on a purely ASCII format.  I will be 
examining the possiblity of doing formats like, RTF, PostScript
and MS Word.
