Your responses don't make any assemblence of sense to me.  "Argue for
myself"; what is that supposed to mean in connection with the FAQ situation
that is presently going on here?  It's already been discussed in previous
messages about "voting someone else in" and there are split opinions on
whether it's current usenet policy to do this (or not).  Voting can create
a group, but it may not be able to vote a FAQ maintainer out from what I've
read so far.
