The idea of posting a FAQ and/or adding list tips in footers is not mainly to let people know how to uns*b, switch to digest, etc. It's mainly to head off unpleasant list blow-ups. On several of our lists, we've had subscribers get into huge arguments, get abusive, etc. The list managers haven't stepped in appropriately (IMHO) to stop the flamewar, and the subscribers then claim that they didn't know what to do. The FAQ contains a complaint process so that in case of flamewars, subscribers can find out what to do (other that just signing off).
