Usually I would say right. However, the request says

In other words, he is automatically updating. He thus satisfies
the main requirement I place on those who want to post my
diabetes FAQ -- a requirement which very few web site owners are
prepared to satisfy. This would thus give you another place you
can refer people to retrieve your FAQ. Of course, then you need
to remember to check occasionally to make sure he's actually
updating.
