Agreed, but the point still stands. Documenting a pointer to a page
describing extra requirements in the *.answers guidelines would be a
good thing. It would reduce any confusion and help the user along.
We are talking about verbage the size of this paragraph... Such as:
"If you would like to crosspost your FAQ to uk.answers, please refer to
http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.answers.html prior to submitting your FAQ
to the *.answers monderation team. The moderator of the uk.answers
newsgroup needs to be consulted on any posting in uk.answers as it is
not a Big 8 hierarchy moderated by the *.answers moderation team. Once
he is satisfied, the poster will be directed to also gain approval for
posting to news.answers."
There, that was easy. ;)
