I maintain a FAQ that I broadcast in full to receipient newsgroups,
including the *.answers groups, every 3 months, but post an abridged
version to the non-*.answers groups (so as not to overwrite the
archives) with a pointer to the FAQ archives every month. Is there
any way of updating the archives more frequently than 3-monthly, except
by posting exclusively via the *.answers newsgroups? The latter course
would involve bugging the moderators each month informing them of my
intentions, if I read the FAQ manintainers guide correctly, and I assume
they would not care to be bothered so. Or have I misunderstood the
guide and in fact I only have to tell the moderators once?

Anyone else have this problem?

(The reason why I don't broadcast the full FAQ every month is simply
that I feel that it is rather too long for a monthly posting and paying
customers might get a bit peeved.)
