Wherever those kinds of answers appear in the Linux FAQ - the ones to
which there is more than one possible answer, I include the contributor's
signature with the answer. As there are sometimes more than one
contributor, they all can appear in the sigline.
I think your best approach would be to look at other FAQ's, because
other maintainers have always faced the same problem, and different
people have thought up a number of ways to cope with these problems.
You'll be able to make much better informed decisions about how to
respond to your critics.
The text version of the FAQ is at: http://www.mainmatter.com/linux-faq.txt
if you want to see how the contributor's signatures, in places where
they're relevant, appear in the postings.
