Hi Fellow FAQers

I recently wrote the Formula One Motor Racing FAQ which I post monthly to
rec.autos.sport.f1 and rec.autos.spot.info (a moderated group). I have
received a couple of complaints from people who say that although they
appreciate the FAQ they do not appreciate having to download it twice a
month as it is quite long. One person actually likened it, in a polite and
reasoned way, to spam. Even though it is long (about 100k), I thought
correct netiquette was to post it to the groups concerned. It is available
on a Web page and I've had it approved so if I can ever figure out what it
is I'm doing wrong, it'll also be posted to the 'answers' groups.

What do you think? Should I continue to post it in its entirety to rasf1 and
rasi, or should I just post monthly pointers.

Cheers
Mitch
