I wrote in response to a question on FAQ writing: > There is a mailing list which I'd recommend (subscription is not > automated, I don't believe): FAQ-Maintainers-L. To subscribe, send a > request to [log in to unmask] The list is run by > the folks who coordinate the newsgroup news.answers and the FTP site > rtfm.mit.edu. (I also recommend reading the guidelines for > news.answers posting, stored somewhere on that FTP site, listed > periodically on news.answers.) I should have used cut/paste! Use "consensus", not what I have above. The following is available on the FTP site I mentioned: - --------- Selection from RTFM.guidelines: ------------- [snip] [The most recent copy of this document can be obtained via anonymous FTP as rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/news.answers/news-answers/guidelines. If you do not have access to anonymous FTP, you can get a copy by sending email to [log in to unmask] with the command "send usenet/news.answers/news-answers/guidelines" in the message.] [snip] 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". - ------ End of selection from RTFM.guidelines ------ Thanks to Blaine E.
