Re: authorization

Because postings to moderated newsgroups have to be authorized, and because
*.answers are moderated, the FAQ software has to insert the info.

Anyone paying attention to postings appearing in their newsgroup should
see this on a regular basis from any of the items being posted - if they
flamed you, then obviously they haven't a clue to how usenet really works.

Just shrug it off...

On the other hand, it _would_ be a useful thing to mention in the FAQs about
FAQs type document - perhaps even suggesting that a 'warning shot' be fired
posting to the various groups letting them know one is about to begin
posting a FAQ and that because of usenet's nature, the msg will be
automatically approved. Perhaps even a boilerplate message (where
one fills in the blanks before posting) could be formed...
