I wrote in response to a question on FAQ writing:

I should have used cut/paste!  Use "consensus", not what I have above.
The following is available on the FTP site I mentioned:

    A. faq-maintainers
    ------------------
 
    Maintainers of FAQs and other periodic informational postings are
    encouraged to join the faq-maintainers mailing list, which is used
    for discussion about the *.answers newsgroups and the maintenance
    of Usenet periodic informational postings.  Anyone can subscribe
    to these mailing lists -- in particular, you're welcome to
    subscribe before you even submit your posting to us, or if you
    never plan to.
 
    Traffic on faq-maintainers tends to come in bursts -- it averages
    three to four messages per day, but during a burst there may be as
    many as several dozen messages in a few hours, and in between such
    bursts, there may be a week of no messages at all.
 
    To subscribe, send email to [log in to unmask]
    with the command "subscribe" in the Subject line.  For information
    about other commands, send the command "help".

Thanks to Blaine E. Thompson ([log in to unmask]) [no relation] for
pointing out my mistake.
 
En paz,
