Charles has posted to this list on multiple occasions so he is listening.
It is confusing that uk.answers is NOT a *.answers newsgroup. I can see
the possible difference but it confuses the already specific submission
and approval process. Maybe the news.answers moderation guidelines need
to specifically state what *.answers newsgroups are covered by the permission
to crosspost to the news.answers covered newsgroups. Additionally, when
the approval and permission message is sent to the FAQ author, it should
restate what the authentic *.answers groups are. Then the author is aware
of the limits and need to discuss additional approvals with the regional
hierarchy managers.
