More links to the FAQ from other pages, such as
https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/
to make it easier to find.

Maybe add "How to remove a peer". The reason I mention this is that I
found two files in spool/indeed

news@www:~/spool/innfeed$ ls -lh alphanet.ch.*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 news news 1.2M Sep 23 00:01 alphanet.ch.input
-rw-rw-r-- 1 news news 187M Nov 8 20:25 alphanet.ch.output

I assume that these can be deleted without any issues but if that was
in a faq, I wouldn't need to check :)

It is correct that you can just delete those files. They are the backlog
for that peer (the articles you've tried to send them but that haven't
gone through).

Interesting. I didn't see Russ's reply come through but I got your
follow up. Must investigate.

I found a whole bunch of Russ's posts in the emp.phr log for some
reason. I see that news.software.nntp is in the cleanfeed flood groups
so I removed that. I wonder how many other articles I've lost :/
