[faq-maintainers] Plea for Suspension of FAQ Auto-Posting

I know that the news.answers moderation team is on hiatus, and the mail
message queue for them probably stretches out a year or more. However,
I was wondering if someone who had the "keys to the office" could go in
and suspend this autoposted FAQ (Archive Name greaseman-faq). The FAQ
is clearly at least 2 years out of date, the original maintainer
(J. Carlos Castro) does not respond to any E-mail, and its repeated
posting just causes unproductive cascade flames about the outdated
contents, the autoposter, and the radio personality for which the FAQ is
about, to alt.fan.greaseman (as shown in the message included below).
There are probably at least a half-dozen requests sent over the past
year-and-a-half to news.answers-request@mit.edu to get this problem
resolved. This is clearly a high-priority, low-effort, item that
deserves immediate attention.

I plan to follow up to the faq-maintainers mailing list with the same
request every time this FAQ is autoposted again.
