Yes, we all know the answer, but it looks like it took me quite a long 
time to get around to updating the FAQ :)

There is now a detailed answer were there was previously a request to 
nudge the mailing list by 2003-01-31... I hope I mistyped that as 2003 
when it really should have been 2004.  It would be a little silly if it 
really took longer than a year to revisit this issue.
