From the beginning, I've posted my Dreams FAQ every other week. I had
doubts if that is too much but when I missed just one cycle recently,
the number of "where's the FAQ" posting did go up significantly. So I
think I've got it right. :-) (alt.dreams has about 150 articles per
week, rough estimate.)

OTOH, if all FAQs did get posted biweekly this would probably increase
the traffic way too much, so the right frequency depends on the group.
