This seems to sluff off an important function of *.answers moderators.
If more than one faqs per newsgroup is accepted for archiving and
distribution via news.answers, then the value of news.answers as a filter is
diminished.
Another consideration is maintaining interest in faqs keeping, at least
vis-a-vis news.answers. If a faqs keeper is not supported by *.answers
moderators as maintainer of _the_ faqs for a newsgroup, then important
motivations for participating in news.answers are much reduced.
Evidently, the faqs keeper for alt.spooky is no longer supplying updates
as agreed. If this situation has persisted for some extended period (e.g.
three months, eight months, or whatever), then, it seems reasonable to
recognize someone else who submits a faqs as _the_ faqs keeper for the
newsgroup.
Nancy seems to be an interested, involved participant of alt.spooky. If
she submits a proper faqs, why not recognize her as the faqs keeper?
