Re: FAQs: What to do?

Re: FAQs: What to do?

Here is what I see and notice:

1. Each newsgroups seems to have one FAQ post ---- we really should only
   have one not 10 different ones. No links page. If you want to show
   those links, you should show them in the FAQs.

2. The content of the FAQs should be of good quaility, precise, and factual
   (as close as possible anyway). Things that are not for sure, should be
   left out or stated as such.

3. The length in content of the FAQ's should not matter. The
   alt.drinks.Kool-Aid Faq's are 40 pages long, but everything you need
   to know is in there. One stop shopping in outline form. I helped write
   this one and have never had anyone complain about the length of it to
   me or the last 2 keepers of these FAQs. It has always been written to
   us that they like all the info.

4. Once a week or even every 10 days is plenty. If someone has never been
   to our newsgroup before, the FAQ's will show up in their postings when
   they do get in here and look around. And no, it doesn't matter who posts
   them. Martin you are doing a great job and should continue.

5. Mathew needs to take some time and make the final decision on this
   stuff. He is the keeper of the FAQ's and that's his responsibility as
   such. I have faith that he will make the right choices. Input from all
   of us is helpful. But this is his baby right now, as he is the keeper.
   And we all need to support him on his decision. So, if Mathew think
   some of the content from the other FAQ helpers should be included, then
   I say let him be the decision maker on what should and should not be
   added. If he wants help he can always ask us...plus I see an eager
   Martin ready to write some more. *S*

SO Mathew Thomas, old friend, these are my thoughts to you and to Martin.

These are obviously just my opinions as a regular poster and contributor
to this newsgroup.
