Not necessarily, there are a lot of general-purpose FAQs out there.
For instance, I occasionally seek out the a.b.p. FAQ for the
multi-platform listings of graphics/animation programs, but haven't
checked the groups for anything else in years. There are also things
like "How To Create A Newsgroup" in news.groups (which I only
subscribe to when I have to :-) and plenty of other general things
with high utility attached to newsgroups and mailing lists that users
may or may not read on a regular basis.

I'm not sure you could do it accurately. Better just to make a
subjective list based on usenet readership, degree of general utility,
and the like, but accompany it with caveats and not pretend it's
scientific. >B^)
