I've done the alt.magick.* FAQ, which tries to include most of its
subsidiary groups, or points to them. the subsidiaries are mostly
noise-funnels, so it is not quite the same as two completely different
newsgroups.

the various newsgroups which this includes or with which I'd compare:

alt.magick.ethics
alt.magick.folk
alt.magick.order
alt.magick.sex (defunct)
alt.magick.tantra

the others in the cluster (.chaos, .moderated and .tyagi) all have their
own administration files (usually designated as 'FAQs' but not always
accurately named, since they are mostly REFerence files).

yes, I constructed a crude text HTML as a pair to this FAQ, through which
it may also be reached. its URL is:

comments/inquiries welcome. enjoy.
