If this question has already been addressed, I've been unable to
find it ...

Ok, so now I have my FAQ authorized. I've been given the appropriate
header to include for automatic authorization of postings to *.answers.
The question is, does it matter that this header will be appearing
in the articles on the "home" newsgroup?

I can see that posts to *.answers (going through the 'bot) could have
the approval header stripped, but I don't imagine this happens with
the "home" newsgroup. Am I correct, then, in my assumption that it
doesn't matter if the world can see the the approval header and that
the *.answers 'bot will only accept submissions from my registered
address, regardless of whether or not the approval headers is present
and correct?

The only other possibility I see here is to post a copy of my FAQ *with*
the approval header to *.answers, and a different copy *without* the
approval header to the "home" newsgroup. This, however, defeats the
purpose of crossposting.

So how are you supposed to handle the authorization header?

Thanks in advance,
Devin
