Suggested "Introduction to comp.sys.apple2"

[nkp@bbs.ausom.oz.au (Nicholas Pyers)]

After recently noticing that some strange topics where appearing in the
"wrong" or inapproprate csa newsroups, I thought I would put forward a
suggestion to all about having a brief introduction automatically posted to
each of the Apple // related newsgroups.

We have a similar system in place for the "local" newsgroups on the site I
use.  The intro's are posted on the 1st of each month.

A rushed mock-up for csa2 is attached below.  There could be similar ones
for all Apple // related newsgroups (with the follow-ups set to csa2)

The section from Apple // related newsgroups would remain the same for all
newsgroups postings.  Each newsgroup would have there own Description and
content sections.

What are your thoughts on this?
If enough people approve, I am will to write the intro and then regualarly
post them (Weekly/Fortnightly or Monthly)

Also where are the FAQ's archived.
