If the official moderator of the newsgroup in question is acknowledging
your FAQ, then you might use your own system (or any other one) to
post the FAQ *without* sending it to the moderator first. Remember that the
*.answers groups are moderated as well and work this very same way.
I do this with an FAQ that goes to a newsgroup which is moderated to ensure
that a mailing list is fed with all articles and vice versa, that is, the
moderation address is the posting address for the mailing list as well, *and*
the moderation accepts anything automatically. Posting the FAQ including an
appropriate Approved: header line (with all moderators listed there) has the
additional side effect that members of the mailing list do not get the FAQ each
month, which is something they don't want because they already have it (from
subscribing), and won't need it each month, and because I also post (using
the regular way and not bothering *.answers) a diff from this-month's FAQ
to last-month's FAQ (edited manually to make it more readable and to throw
out minor changes like spelling error corrections and layout things).
Bye,
Uli
