G'Day,

This is not a complaint, just a request for information...

I notice that there are lots and lots of questions posted to the gnu
groups on USENET. I imagine that the majority of these messages are
forwarded from the GNU mailing lists. These queries, however, often
don't seem to have answers or acknowledgements posted back to the
USENET groups.

So the questions I have are these:
  1. do these queries get answered privately, ie by mail not through
     news?
  2. would it be appropriate and possible to post those responses to
     the gnu groups on USENET?

Thanks!

Sean
