I suppose it depends on what you think your role is. In one FAQ
(alt.hypertext) I had a similar problem: a jerk who'd been abusing the
group for a long time asked me to update the list with some stuff of his.
Many of the former discussants (including me) have strong views about
hypertext so I try to keep the answers close to what I think the consensus
view is, and I say so at the start of the FAQ. In that spirit I added a
reference to the jerk's website in the relevant question (something like:
`you might also want to see X's list at URL'.
In another FAQ I maintain (alt.backrubs) I have sometimes had other
people write sections or answers. We agree that because I post the FAQ
under my name I have final say over what goes in it, but I give them full
credit for their answers (sometimes I quote them too).
