All this info is on the Meta FAQ and of topical interest to newcomers on
how to locate information in general
The Ground Zero Games Meta-FAQ is available at
http://ds.dial.pipex.com/town/estate/ax16/grunt/meta-faq.txt
You can use AltaVista to search the archives it if you use the right
keywords.

For Example
+GZG +Mailing +List +sniper
Finds - the discussion in question at:
http://interact.canoe.ca/~jhan/Archive/1998/apr1998/apr1998.html
The archives has its own fine keyword search but the hit rates are
usually quite
high to be useful for general queries on common terms, YMMV.
