Interestingly enough, the same thing happened to me. In this case one
of the newsgroups I included was one which was mirrored to a mailing list,
for folks without access to news. It was these people who complained that
my FAQ was filling their mailboxes.
I removed the list from the distribution [and resubmitted the header
to the net.answers staff -- still waiting, almost patiently]. I'm
considering a second Periodic Posting which would be the pointer to
the main document, and will probably create it given enough
motivation. I still feel posting to newsgroups is the purpose for a
FAQ to live, but I understand the mirrored newsgroup perspective.
