The only issue that I can think of is that not all sites honor an
Expires: header. If you do decrease the frequency of the posting, you
might want to send a FAQ-Reminder post about half way between FAQ
postings. The FAQ-Reminder post would say that there is an FAQ for
this newsgroup, (to cut down on the "Is there a FAQ for this
newsgroup." posts) and where to get it (in case the user can't find it
on their system.)
