I don't see much difference between the World Conquest FAQ and the weekly
Olympia Times posted by Shadow Island. One is a FAQ, one is a newsletter.
They both share the same purpose: drawing attention to a commercial game.
And they both contain informative, sometimes entertaining material. Neither
contains any hype. I doubt many people here truly object to them.

Of course, Bill Rapp shouldn't post his FAQ as frequently as Rich Skrenta
posts his Times. The FAQ is interesting once, boring twice. Maybe Bill could
take the effort to report the results of World Conquest games as an
alternative to frequent repostings of the FAQ. The Olympia Times is welcome
here each week because its content changes...

Greg, I think your long-standing animosity toward Bill Rapp may have been a
factor in your negative reaction to his FAQ.
