Yes and no. Dick Depew runs ARMM (his name for his cancelbot), which
cancels posts on specific criteria. The first is that it's binary
encoded; the second is that the resultant program is 100k or longer;
the third is that it appears in an unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc,
news, rec, or sci group. At any rate, it won't take notice of a
14k posting.
Beyond that, if the charter allows for it, he will exclude groups.
For example, comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd, and rec.games.bolo
are currently ignored. If you run into problems, you might try
mailing him and working things out. ("Look... I need to include this
binary in the FAQ; it's very pertinent," etc...) His e-mail address
is red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us.
But I don't think you'll get problems there.
Finally, since the uuencoded portion gets ignored now (since I don't
know who else might be screening binaries on a site-by-site basis),
why don't you split the FAQ into two 32k parts... then the 14k binary
will comprise less than half of the second part...
