As a public service announcment, I hereby post the entire text of the
a.b.f.f. FAQ (it isn't large). The purpose is to educate those who are
new here and need to be brought up to speed as to what this group is
for.

The contents are identical to the information found at:
http://www.jgoffin.freeserve.co.uk/abf/floods.htm (Who's computer is this?)

...with the exception of the hyperlinks defining RAR, multipart
archives and HTML. And if you do not know what any of those are,
please click the link above and the corresponding link for the
definition.

Therefore, without further ado, the FAQ:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History
alt.binaries.fonts.floods was created in September/October 2002 as a
companion group to alt.binaries.fonts. The primary reason for creating
ABFF was to relieve the congestion that flooding caused in ABF, while
still providing a way for people to post floods for the benefit of the
members of ABF.

Posting etiquette
As a good rule-of-thumb, posts should be at least 1Mb or larger. So
that people with slower connections and more restrictive servers will
have a better shot at getting ALL the pieces and thus there will
(theoreticaly) be fewer reposts, please keep your archive pieces/parts
size under 300KB, as they seem to remain on servers longer.

All posts should be in an archive format. RAR is the preferred format
for posting multipart archives. Please use a program such as WinRAR to
create multi-part archives, as this will make it easier to do fills.
If you use a news reader to split your posts, and someone needs a
repost, you have to repost the whole archive rather than just specific
parts.

Before posting a flood, please post an 'Intent To Post Flood' message
in alt.binaries.fonts eg. Subject: ITPF - TrueType Dingbats
collection.

Reposts should be labelled as such, eg. Subject: REPOST - TrueType
Dingbats collection.

Chatter is discouraged. Please keep all questions/comments/thank
you's, etc in alt.binaries.fonts

Requests are NOT allowed. All requests should be made in
alt.binaries.fonts, as requests made in ABFF will be ignored.

HTML/Rich text is not allowed.

Cross-posting is discouraged.

What IS allowed: Large font archives and font related archives, such
as font editors, etc.

General
As ABFF is a companion group to ABF, most of the FAQ for ABF will
apply to ABFF, except as noted otherwise in this FAQ.
