For the record, I am in favour of disclaimers, but only to FAQs that require
them. FAQs that are quite technical probably wouldn't need them, and are not
likely to be the subjectof harassment that David complains about.

If David is just a voluteer approver and not a FAQ maintainer, I am puzzled as
to why his name would appear in association with any FAQ he approves?
