AAARRGGGHHH !!

Maybe its time to get the Unsubscribe instructions, and perhaps a link to 
the FAQ, tagged onto the footer of each mail rather than just included in 
the headers... what do you think ?


Regards,

Rob

 We thought it would be a good idea for the FAQ changes to go to the
list,

There's much more FAQ editing activity now then there will be in future.
Plus FAQ-o-matic seems over zealous in reporting less-than-interesting
changes.

 Tim, what do you think, should we just proceed and keep them off, or do
you
 want me to write a patch to FAQ-o-matic to only send new additions?

New additions and content (not structure) edits would be good -
once the dust has settled on the FAQ.

 Let me know, also anyone willing to contribute such a patch we'll be
 appreciated.

Agreed.

Tim.

We had the unsubscribe instructions in the footer for years with no
discernable effect on the people who felt asking the list was the right
course.

The FAQ link might be useful though, if only so it'd be easy to paste into
the body of my replies.

Would it make sense to create a list specifically for FAQ maintenance? A
docs list or somesuch?

Just a thought.
