Rather than post an overly long response, I have E-Mailed a longer
version of the below to the author.  I saw no need to burden the group
with more traffic than needed.

Why do I have the sudden urge to start humming "In a Perfect World"?
  Greg and I have discussed this matter in private before, and he stated
that he saw no reason to change.  Now this is obviously not the majority
opinion, but he sees no reason to change it, so it won't be changed
without fairly drastic action.  In addition, Greg is only the maintainer
of the FAQ for this group, not the Moderator.  If he want's the job of
Moderator, he should have this changed to a moderated group.

As stated, I am reluctant to carry on any other conversations with Greg
in E-Mail.  He has shown a desire to bury this issue EVERY TIME it has
come up in the last few years (based on a reading of the last few years of
threads on Deja News) and has also shown that same tendancy here.
  Personally, I would like to see this over with as well.  It is a small
and petty issue, but has blown out of proportion.  When it is painfully
obvious to almost everyone that this is a popular issue and that even long
time lurkers would like to see this change implemented in some form, it
should no longer be an argument of doing it, but a discussion on how best
to do it.  I was hoping that a public vote would show the support needed
to get the FAQ revised.
