Um, the FAQ existed before he got his hands on it. What you see these days
is derivative of the FAQ that has existed since time immemorial. And I'll 
bet my spare Mac Plus logic board that you can't find another group where 
the FAQ maintainer calls the FAQ his property and presumes to be able to say 
who can read it and who can't.

Not a bad idea . Then it might only contain useful info and leave out the
editorial content if it's done right.
