This was basically what I was getting at in an earlier suggestion of
mine. Rather than saturate news.announce.newusers with more FAQs, put
a good, short, succinct, meaningful FAQ on or very near the cover page
for faqs.org and point there from everywhere else. There could be two
of these, one about how to find your way on the Internet and one
closer to us, namely about what you should do when you've found a FAQ
that seems useful but you can't read.
(Mind you, there's nothing to prevent one from also submitting it to
n.a.newusers, but I think the ultra-newbie FAQ really needs to be a
clickable and colorful web page. It might not need to have "FAQ:S FOR
THE UNSALVAGEABLY BRAINDEAD" in huge red Futura Extra Bold or come
with a CD-ROM, to set it off as an "intellectual" alternative to the
competition.)
