Can you think of any FAQs that need to be cross-posted to over 125
groups? That's how many you'd have to post to to get despammed
under current BI=20 rules/implementation and using maximal cross-posting.

There actually is a FAQ under autocancel because the person insists on
uni-posting it to 40 groups. No, it's not a *.answers FAQ, and the person
is finally beginning to respond to my suggestions to cross-post the thing.
