As someone who is involved with two large FAQs and who isn't on the
list, I very much agree with this. I never even heard of the list
until someone requested that the aquaria faq be posted to
news.answers, and I don't think that the previous maintainers were on
the list either. I had to ask to be removed because of the volume
even after I did subscribe. I am only here because this site now
spools the list into a local newsgroup, which I think I can just about
handle. Please put in the clause about those not on the list on
behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves.
