FYI, it seems news.answers approval is backlogged by about four weeks. I
just received approval for FAQs I'd submitted in the middle of December.

I don't get many requests so it doesn't bother me; I usually just send it.
It is annoying when someone -posts- asking for the FAQ -- and my email reply
(complete with FAQ) bounces! Grr. In this case they'll have to wait for the
next regular posting.
Is there any way you can make the faq available on your own FTP, or web
page? I'm about to set up a simple web page for the FAQs I post (which are a
couple I write, plus several I post by proxy for others). The files
themselves will still be plain text, but this will make them accessible in
between postings, and I could have a weekly posting with a pointer to the
page. They'll also actually be more up-to-date than the rtfm archive, if the
maintainer has sent me a revised version that hasn't been posted yet.
