You may be clear enough, but the "How-To" that they send isn't clear. I
was also under the impression that the point of posting it to *.answers
with all the other groups on the Newsgroups: line was that they were going
to post it. It took me several reads of the docs, as well as the discussion
here for me to understand differently.

Possibly what's confusing is that they need to explain that they will not
post the FAQ, but that they need to know what groups it is going to go to.

PS: I still haven't heard as to whether or not my revised headers to my FAQ
have been approved, amd it's been close to three weeks. I've posted it
twice since I submitted it, and I'm soon going to have to post it again.
What's the best address to use to get some kind of answer? Something other
than news-answers-moderators.
