Ken,

If it wasn't for annoyed veterans, very few groups would have a FAQ.
It's the annoyed veterans that get tired of seeing the same questions
and answers over and over and over and over and over and over and
decide to put together a list of the Frequently Asked Questions (with
answers) for the group.

The FAQ should be a welcome mat, but it also can serve the purpose of
advising the new reader on how to more quickly fit in to the group
without doing the things that they will find annoying after they have
been around for a while.

When a group grows unwieldy or there develops an audience for a related,
but different group, then a new group can be formed.

I would be very willing to vote in favor of a rec.games.pbm.ads group
whose purpose is to provide a place for periodic ads for ongoing commercial
or free games.  However, I don't feel the need strongly enough to
take on the task of Proponent and get it done properly.  Someone
who knows enough about the process (I don't) could start a group
called alt.games.pbm.ads today with much less effort.

Jim
