When I first wrote my FAQ, I sent a very rough version with the completed
headers to the FAQ checker, and it was approved of for posting. Since then,
I've updated it a ton of times.

The only time you ever need to tell someone that you need to change
something is if you want to post (or cease posting) to another newsgroup,
change one of the more important headers (like the archive name, the
poster's name, etc.) or if you have a single-part FAQ and you want to split
it up.
