Re: How did *you* get into this business?

What's interesting to me about all these stories (I'll spare
you mine) is the number of people who've related that they just
up and started maintaining an FAQ list one day. Given how
contentious the denizens of Usenet newsgroups can be (and the
more a group needs an FAQ list, the more contentious it's likely
to be) I always assumed that someone would raise a hue and cry
(on principle, if for no other reason) if a self-appointed
maintainer dared to start posting something as important as an
FAQ list without first kowtowing and getting a consensus from the
group.
I felt rather bold the time I appointed myself as comp.lang.c's
FAQ list maintainer, and waited with bated breath for the
flames that never came, but it sounds like this was not at all
an atypical experience.
